Discovered novel human apicomplexan parasite

I am making a claim on this parasite, but mtDNA COI barcode will be needed to do this officially.
I have discovered the connection between my gut infection, and my prostate infection. This was essential to do, before making this announcement.
It shows the ability for the microbe to migrate in the body, and infect cells.
The macrophages of prostate pick up cysts, and cannot digest them for antigen presentation.
The cysts seem to develop into sporozoits directly as a single sporozoite. They are not direct relationship to shedding gut oocysts. The macrophages eventually end up in gut, where presumably, the cysts
become active. The genome of this parasites is very diverse, and the various stages and forms are difficult to track.
This parasite in other forms or strains could be a factor in many chronic health diseases.
One diagnostic indicator, is elevation of mast cell activity.

I have included a small clip of the sporozoite to show one form and stage of growth. There is a distinct feature of this one, a small finger-like protuberance which acts like a probe. It could also release a spore, but I am not 100% sure about that. The crystal is rhodamine 6G dye, and there is background debris. The image was taken under phase contrast at high magnification. It is the orange rod-like object in middle of frame.
