MeSH Heading: Dinoflagellida
Tree Number(s): B01.043.214
Unique ID: D004141
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004141
Annotation: infection: coordinate with PROTOZOAN INFECTIONS; coordinate with specific protozoan terms (ANTIGENS, PROTOZOAN, etc.) if pertinent
Scope Note: Flagellate EUKARYOTES, found mainly in the oceans. They are characterized by the presence of transverse and longitudinal flagella which propel the organisms in a rotating manner through the water. Dinoflagellida were formerly members of the class Phytomastigophorea under the old five kingdom paradigm.
