Abstract EN

Dinoflagellate infections have been reported for different protistan and animal hosts.

We report, for the first time, the association between a dinoflagellate parasite and a rotifer host, tentatively Synchaeta sp.

(Rotifera), collected from the port of Valencia, NW Mediterranean Sea.

The rotifer contained a sporangium with 100–200 thecate dinospores that develop synchronically through palintomic sporogenesis.

This undescribed dinoflagellate forms a new and divergent fast-evolved lineage that branches among the dinokaryotic dinoflagellates.
