Vulnerable (VU) species are considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. In July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 2178 vulnerable invertebrate species. [1]
Isospora is a genus of internal parasites in the subclass Coccidia. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is responsible for the condition isosporiasis , which causes acute, non-bloody diarrhoea in immunocompromised individuals.
Genus Isospora is the most common cause of intestinal coccidiosis in dogs and cats. Species of Isospora are host-specific, infecting only one species. Species that infect dogs include I. canis, I. ohioensis, I. burrowsi, and I. neorivolta.
A fully mature (sporulated) oocyst of genus Isospora is a spindle-shaped body that has two sporocysts that contain four sporozoites each. [4] The oocysts of Cystoisospora belli are long and oval shaped. They measure between 20 and 33 micrometers in length and between 10 and 19 micrometers wide. [5]
The taxonomy of this group is complex and only partly understood. Two major clades have been identified: the isosporoid coccidia (Toxoplasma, Neospora, Isospora [in part], and Sarcocystis) and a second clade containing Lankesterella, Caryospora and the eimeriid coccidia (Cyclospora, Isospora [in part] and Eimeria).

Cystoisospora, previously known Isospora, is a genus that causes coccidiosis in humans, dogs and cats. [4] Coccidiosis is multiple gastrointestinal infections caused by members of the sporozoan parasite coccidium which includes Cystoisospora .
The genus Asterophora develops on old fruitbodies of the mushroom species in the family, [46] as does Dendrocollybia racemosa on at least Russula crassotunicata. [100] Fruitbodies of Lactifluus or Russula species otherwise hot-tasting and unpalatable are regarded as choice edibles in North America when infected by the "lobster mushroom ...
