The Apicomplexa is the only large taxonomic group whose members are entirely parasitic and is, therefore, presumably of major interest to parasitologists. We might, for example, expect that we know a great deal about the biology of the group by now and that we have a clear phylogenetic framework within which to organize that knowledge. It might thus come as a surprise to learn that in terms of biodiversity, the Apicomplexa is actually the least-known group of all. Furthermore, the taxonomic framework for the Apicomplexa is rather tenuous in many respects. This situation is unlikely to change in the short term.
