[edit] Coccidia
In an edit on the Apicomplexa page, you said that, "Cryptosporidium is related to gregarines, not to coccidians." But you don't give a source. The sources I'm finding say Cryptosporidium is a coccidia; for example, see:
- (2005-09-08) Toxoplasmosis: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide (Excerpt). Cambridge University Press. DOI:10.2277/0521019427. ISBN: 0521019427.
