Based on phylogenetic analyses, various taxonomic changes have recently been proposed for tick-transmitted small piroplasmids, including descriptions of new species. It is however essential that any such changes comply with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Unfortunately, this has not been the case, and some recently proposed names are therefore invalid. The use of informal clade names is necessary until formal valid descriptions are available.
基于系统发育分析,最近有人针对蜱传播的小型梨形虫提出了各种分类学变化,包括新物种的描述。然而,任何此类变化都必须符合《国际动物命名法规》。遗憾的是,实际情况并非如此,因此一些最近提出的名称是无效的。在获得正式有效的描述之前,使用非正式的进化枝名称是必要的。
