  • Started looking at references, "The condition is known as wasting disease,[3]," and this reference does not include this information. -68.107.136.227 (talk) 21:41, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
  • "Plasmodiophora bicaudata is a marine fungal pathogen, an obligate parasite of seagrass (Zostera spp.) which causes wasting disease." I don't see a fungal vector anywhere in this; the taxobox (and name) seem to indicate this is a Rhizaria. Where in the lifecycle is a fungus located? -68.107.136.227 (talk) 21:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
