Dermocystidium is a genus of cyst-forming, eukaryotic fish parasites,[ 2] the causative agents of dermocystidiosis .
The genus Dermocystidium was described in 1907. It was previously thought to be a genus of fungal parasites, related to the Thraustochytrida and Labyrinthulida (both those groups are now considered to be stramenopiles rather than fungi ). Other biologists considered it to be a sporozoan protist.
It was subsequently identified as one of a group of fish parasites (the "DRIP clade") of previously uncertain affiliation, which were later identified as nonanimal, nonfungal opisthokonts ,[ 3] and renamed as Ichthyosporea , and after expansion as Mesomycetozoa . Parasites of crustacea (Dermocystidium daphniae ) and molluscs (Dermocystidium marinum ) placed in this genus have been found to be likely a bacterium and an alveolate , respectively: Sayre, Gherna and Wergin (1983) concluded that Dermocystidium daphniae was likely identical to Pasteuria ramosa Metchnikoff, 1888 ,[ 4] while D. marinum has been reclassified as Perkinsus marinus .[ 5]
The frog parasite Dermocystidium ranae has recently been segregated as Amphibiocystidium ranae .[ 6]
