The phylum Sarcomastigophora belongs to the Protist kingdom and it includes many unicellular or colonial, autotrophic, or heterotrophic organisms.

Taxonomy

It is divided into three subphyla: the Mastigophora, the Sarcodina and the Opalinata.^[1]

It is polyphyletic, and it is not a universally recognized classification. It places great significance upon method of locomotion in generating the taxonomy.

It can be described either as:

kingdom Protista → phylum Sarcomastigophora

or in older classifications as

phylum Protozoa → subphylum Sarcomastigophora.^[2]

Name

It gets its name from the combination of "Sarcodina" (which is an older term used for amoeboids)^[3] and "Mastigophora" (which is an older term for flagellates).

Histomonas meleagridis is a protozoan parasite causing histomoniasis (histomonosis), a disease of gallinaceous fowl. In order to determine whether the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, is capable of harbouring H. meleagridis, the presence of the parasite was tested by polymerase chain reactio
