Perkinsidae is a family of alveolates in the phylum Perkinsozoa, a sister group to the dinoflagellates.

[edit]It includes Perkinsus species, which are parasitic protozoans, some of which cause disease and mass mortality in wild and farmed molluscs such as oysters.
Characteristics
[edit]Perkinsidae possess plastids which do not contain DNA.[2]
