Frenkelia
Frenkelia is a genus of parasitic protozoa in the phylum Apicomplexa. The protozoa in this genus infect the gasterointestinal tract of birds of prey (definitive hosts) and the tissues of small rodents (intermediate hosts).
Taxonomy
Species of this genus share antigens with Sarcocystis. DNA studies suggest that this genus should be merged with Sarcocystis.
Despite several recommdations abolition of this genus has not yet been approved.
Life cycle
The parasites undergo sexual reproduction in the gut of the definitive host - a bird of prey. They form cysts and are then eaten by a small rodent. Within the gut of the rodent the parasites decyst. They invade the intestinal wall and are carried to the liver. They undergo schizogony in the hepatocytes and Kupffer cells. They then invade the nervous tissue of the rodent host forming cytic structures. The infected rodent is then eaten by a bird when the tissue cysts are digested releasing the parasites. The parasites invade the enterocytes, undergo merogony and gametogony. Gametes are formed which then fuse forming a zygote that undergoes encystation.

The World Just Stopped
by: Franky LeeAnd the world just stopped, just bad
Why does life has such a thin
I can't believe you are not around here no more
And you left an empty ford
All our dreams were just destroyed
And now you're more than far away from home
And I never really said goodbye
This is the way that I honor you my friend
You'll be inside my head until the end
You learned me all that I like to do best
To live it all without you that is a test
And I miss you so
Maybe the whistle didn't blow
And you were gone, that's all I know
It's been a tough time since the day it swept away
With so many dreams unfulfilled
And so many things to rebuild
I know there is no thing above
This is the way that I honor you my friend
You'll be inside my head until the end
You learned me all that I like to do best
To live it all without you that is a test
All these years with you my friend
You'll be inside until the end
Most of the time I wasn't there
I hope you knew that I did care
This is the way that I honor you my friend
You'll be inside my head until the end
You learned me all that I like to do best
To live it all without you that is a test
This is the way that I honor you my friend
You'll be inside my head until the end
You learned me all that I like to do best
To live it all without you that is a test
I miss you so
Why did you go away?
I miss you so
