Mesomycetozoa

Aphelidea Intracellular phagotrophic parasites of algae. Genera: Amoeboaphelidium, Aphelidium and Pseudoaphelidium.
Corallochytrium One species, Corallochytrium limacisporum, usually found on coral reefs in the Indian Ocean. Regarded as a saprotroph (i.e. feeds off dead or decaying organic material).
Capsaspora A single species, Capsaspora owczarzaki, has been recorded from in the haemolymph of a South American freshwater snail called Biomphalaria glabrata, which is the major vector of schistosomiasis in the New World. Capsaspora is evidently capable of penetrating, killing and ingesting trematode larvae (such as Schistosoma mansoni). This species has only been recorded from South America but it is possible that a similar species occurs in Africa, still to be discovered.
Ichthyosporea Mainly animal parasites but some species are free living and saprotrophic.
Ministeria Known from marine environments.
Nucleariida One genus: Nuclearia.
