Amoebidium is a genus of unicellular, symbiotic eukaryotes in the Opisthokont group Mesomycetozoea,[5] family Amoebidiidae.[6][7]Amoebidium species attach to the exoskeleton of freshwater aquatic arthropods such as midge larvae and water fleas (Daphnia).[8] The type species is Amoebidium parasiticum,[1] which is also one of the only species to be cultured axenically.[9]
