''E. cuniculi'' is a [[microsporidia]]l, [[unicellular organism|unicellular]], obligate [[Intracellular parasite|intracellular]], [[Eukaryote|eukaryotic]], [[parasitism|parasite]]. It belongs to the phylum [[Microsporidia]]. Microsporidia are parasitic fungi infecting many animal groups.

Lacking [[mitochondria]] and [[peroxysome]]s, they were first considered a deeply branching [[protist]] lineage that diverged before the [[endosymbiotic event]] that led to mitochondria. The discovery of a gene for a mitochondrial-type [[Chaperone (protein)|chaperone]] combined with molecular [[phylogenetic]] data later implied that microsporidia are atypical fungi that lost mitochondria during evolution.
