Abstract

Recent phylogenetic and protein expression analyses have revealed the diverse group of obligate endoparasites of the subphylum Myxozoa are morphologically simplified, although highly specialized, cnidarians. Covered here are the classification and host associations of these animals, life cycle stages, infection dynamics, diagnostics, and the effect on aquatic host animal health, including whirling disease.
