Lymphotropha is a genus of
parasitic alveolates in the
phylum
Apicomplexa.

Taxonomy
There is one species in this genus.
Life cycle
This genus infects the flour beetle
Tribolium castaneum.
The
sporozoites enter the host by the oral route, usually by ingestion of contaminated food but also by cannibalism of an infected host.
Infection with this genus increases larval mortality and interferes with normal development.
