Abstract The order Holosporales is a broad and ancient lineage of bacteria obligatorily associated with eukaryotic hosts, mostly protists. Significantly, this similar to other evolutionary distinct bacterial lineages (e.g. Rickettsiales Chlamydiae ). Here, we provide detailed comprehensive account on the current knowledge . First, acknowledging up-to-date phylogenetic reconstructions recent nomenclatural proposals, reevaluate their taxonomy, thus re-ranking them as suborder, i.e. Holosporineae , within Rhodospirillales Then, examine diversity presenting 20 described genera many yet undescribed sub-lineages, well variety respective environments provenance which belong several different supergroups. Noteworthy representatives are infectious intranuclear Holospora host manipulator ‘ Caedimonas ’, farmed shrimp pathogen Candidatus Hepatobacter’. Next, put these in context whole by comparing available data least studied representatives, including genome sequences. Accordingly, reason most probable trajectories for interactions, specificity, emergence potential pathogens aquaculture possibly humans, future research directions investigate those open points
