Abstract
A new type of nonlocal currents (quasi-particles), which we call twisted parafermions, and its corresponding twisted -algebra are found. The system consists of one spin-1 bosonic field and six nonlocal fields of fractional spins. Jacobi-type identities for the twisted parafermions are derived, and a new conformal field theory is constructed from these currents. As an application, a parafermionic representation of the twisted affine current algebra is given.
