The Infection form falls under the Kingdom ''Protoctista'', Phylum ''Protozoa'', Sub-Phylum ''Apicomplexa''{{fact}}, and evolved from mutualistic protozoa colonies over time,(it is most likely to be related to ''toxoplasma gondii''or ''plasmodium'' which is also the microscopic form of the unusual protist known as slime moulds), different sub-species developed. Each sub-species with their own adaption that can support the rest of the colony. Over more time the colonies must have evolved into complete organisms; they no longer consist of specialised protozoans, their tissue consists of highly evolved cell types that are new to science.{{fact}} | The Infection form falls under the Kingdom ''Protoctista'', Phylum ''Protozoa'', Sub-Phylum ''Apicomplexa''{{fact}}, and evolved from mutualistic protozoa colonies over time,(it is most likely to be related to ''toxoplasma gondii''or ''plasmodium'' which is also the microscopic form of the unusual protist known as slime moulds), different sub-species developed.
