All characterized ascetosporeans are parasites of invertebrate hosts, including molluscs, crustaceans and polychaetes. Representatives of the genus\n                    <jats:italic>Marteilia<\/jats:italic>\n                    are the best studied paramyxids, largely due to their impact on cultured oyster stocks, and their listing in international legislative frameworks. Although several examples of microsporidian hyperparasitism of paramyxids have been reported, phylogenetic data for these taxa are lacking. Recently, a microsporidian parasite was described infecting the paramyxid\n                    <jats:italic>Marteilia cochillia<\/jats:italic>\n                    , a serious pathogen of European cockles. In the current study, we investigated the phylogeny of the microsporidian hyperparasite infecting\n                    <jats:italic>M. cochillia<\/jats:italic>\n                    in cockles and, a further hyperparasite,\n                    <jats:italic>Unikaryon legeri<\/jats:italic>\n                    infecting the digenean\n                    <jats:italic>Meiogymnophallus minutus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , also in cockles. We show that rather than representing basally branching taxa in the increasingly replete Cryptomycota\/Rozellomycota outgroup (containing taxa such as\n                    <jats:italic>Mitosporidium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Paramicrosoridium<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), these hyperparasites instead group with other known microsporidian parasites infecting aquatic crustaceans. In doing so, we erect a new genus and species (\n                    <jats:italic>Hyperspora aquatica<\/jats:italic>\n                    n. gn., n.sp.) to contain the hyperparasite of\n                    <jats:italic>M. cochillia<\/jats:italic>\n                    and clarify the phylogenetic position of\n                    <jats:italic>U. legeri<\/jats:italic>\n                    . We propose that in both cases, hyperparasitism may provide a strategy for the vectoring of microsporidians between hosts of different trophic status (e.g. molluscs to crustaceans) within aquatic systems. In particular, we propose that the paramyxid hyperparasite\n                    <jats:italic>H. aquatica<\/jats:italic>\n                    may eventually be detected as a parasite of marine crustaceans. The potential route of transmission of the microsporidian between the paramyxid (in its host cockle) to crustaceans, and, the \u2018hitch-hiking\u2019 strategy employed by\n                    <jats:italic>H. aquatica<\/jats:italic>\n                    is discussed.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182016001633","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,17]],"date-time":"2016-10-17T06:46:54Z","timestamp":1476686814000},"page":"186-199","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["<i>Hyperspora aquatica<\/i>\n                    n.gn., n.sp.
