"Parisitological Research"[edit]

The journal name "Parisitological Research" looks like a typo for "Parasitological Research", with an "a" near the beginning. However, I can't find much about this journal online with either spelling. Can anyone, perhaps TelosCricket (talk · contribs), check this reference? -- John of Reading (talk) 08:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

John of Reading (talk · contribs) Yes, typo. Thanks for catching it!. TelosCricket (talk) 09:23, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All taken care of. :) They were both wrong, which is why you couldn't find it. Again, thanks for catching that! TelosCricket (talk) 09:30, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Phylogenetic placement[edit]

Index Fungorum does say that this genus is placed within Chytridiomycota. However, Radek et al. (2017) says "The results confirmed the finding of Wylezich et al. (2004) that Nephridiophaga belongs to the fungal kingdom rather than being related to the non-fungal eukaryotes. It was, however, not possible to resolve the branching order of the non-Dikarrya fungi in a robust way. We found a polytomy where the nephridiophagids were embedded within the flagellate fungi, the Chytridiomycota sensu lato (Voigt 2012). There is strong phylogeneitc and ultrastructural support not to assign the nephridiophagids to any of the newly erected/redefined phyla Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota sensu stricto, Monoblepharidomycota, and Neocallimastigomycota, all of which stem from the former phylum Chytridiomycota s. l.." Unless Wikipedia is using Chytridiomycota sensu lato, the classification of Nephridiophaga should remain insertae sedis. TelosCricket (talk) 01:58, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
