The parasitic dinoflagellates in the genus Amoebophrya infect and kill a number of free-living dinoflagellates. The parasitoid has the potential to regulate harmful dinoflagellate blooms due to its high offspring production rates and a certain degree of host specificity. The planktonic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu is a commonly observed harmful algal species in coastal waters of China, and limited studies have been conducted to explore the ecological roles of parasitism in association with bloom dynamics. Thus, the in situ occurrence, prevalence, and dynamics of Amoebophrya during the recurrent blooms of P. donghaiense were systemically studied via morphological observations and high-throughput sequencing. The parasitic infections were identified microscopically in six dinoflagellate taxa with prevalence up to 5.13%, while Amoebophrya infection in the bloomforming species P. donghaiense was rare (
