We characterise, in the setting of the Kodaira-Spencer deformation theory, the twistor spaces of (co-)CR quaternionic manifolds.As an application, we prove that, locally, the leaf space of any nowhere zero quaternionic vector field on a quaternionic manifold isendowed with a natural co-CR quaternionic structure.Also, for any positive integers k and l, with kl even, we obtain the geometric objects whose twistorial counterparts are complex manifoldsendowed with a conjugation without fixed points and which preserves an embedded Riemann spherewith normal bundle lO(k).We apply these results to prove the existence of natural classes of co-CR quaternionic manifolds.
