Myxozoans are highly derived cnidarians that have undergone dramatic evolution from a free swimming, self-sufficient jellyfish -like creature into their current form of obligate parasites …

Myxozoans are highly diverse and globally distributed cnidarian endoparasites in freshwater and marine habitats. They have adopted a heteroxenous life cycle, including invertebrate and fish …

Members of the Myxozoa are microscopic metazoan parasites with an extremely reduced body. The dimensions of the myxospore, the typical myxozoan stage in fish hosts, range usually …

Jan 1, 2015 · The Myxozoa are endoparasites characterised, in general, by a two host life cycle which typically involves invertebrates and vertebrates as definitive and intermediate hosts, …

Jan 1, 2015 · In this chapter we present a revised myxozoan classification with an updated taxonomic key. Our key accounts for the recent recognition of the cnidarian origin of …

Myxozoa is a speciose group of endoparasitic cnidarians that can cause severe ecological and economic effects. Their cnidarian affinity is affirmed by genetic relatedness and the presence …

Myxozoa are a group of microscopic, parasitic organisms that belong to the phylum Cnidaria, specifically characterized by their complex life cycles and association with aquatic hosts, …

Jun 11, 2024 · Recent phylogenetic and protein expression analyses have revealed the diverse group of obligate endoparasites of the subphylum Myxozoa are morphologically simplified, …

Jan 1, 2015 · Myxozoa are endoparasitic animals exhibiting complex life cycles that in most known cases involve two hosts: a vertebrate (usually fish, but also rarely amphibian, avian, or …

Myxozoa are endoparasitic animals exhibiting complex life cycles that in most known cases involve two hosts: a vertebrate (usually fish, but also rarely amphibian, avian, or mammalian) …
