What is Confirmation of the wide host range of Parvilucifera corolla (Alveolata, Perkinsozoa) about?
Marine parasites of the genus Parvilucifera have been described as endoparasitoids of dinoflagellates. Recently, the species Parvilucifera corolla was described, but its host range was not examined. Here, the host selectivity of P. corolla was screened, including 110 strains of dinoflagellates (24 genera) and other microalgal groups as potential hosts. Infections and the full life cycle of the parasitoid were observed in 73 strains (16 genera) of dinoflagellates. Parvilucifera corolla did not infect most chlorophytes, cryptophytes, chrysophytes, diatoms, haptophytes and raphidophytes but one strain of Pyramimonas (chlorophyte) was infected, although without viable sporangia. In Symbiodinium natans, a transition to the coccoid stage was induced above a certain parasite:host ratio. These results confirm P. corolla as a generalist parasitoid of dinoflagellates, with important differences in host range regarding other species of the genus.
