Amoebophyra (or Amoebophrya) is a genus of dinoflagellates.Amoebophyra is a syndinian parasite that infects free-living dinoflagellates that are attributed to asingle species by using several host-specific parasites.It acts as "biological control agents for red tides and in defining species of Amoebophrya." Researchers have found a correlation between a large amount of host specify and the impact host parasites may have on other organisms. Due to the host specificity found in each strain of Amoebophrya's physical makeup, further studies need to be tested to determine whether the Amoebophrya can act as a control against harmful algal blooms.
