		The "Myxozoa" are a group of microscopic microscopic, parasitic parasitic animal animals.
		Many Myxozoa have a two-host lifecycle, involving a fish fish and an annelid annelid worm or bryozoa bryozoan.
		On account of this the Myxozoa have been generally held to be extremely reduced cnidarians, and in particular have been considered close relatives of "Polypodium Polypodium", with some genetic support.

	Myxozoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Greek roots of the name myxozoa express the ideas of "slime" or "mucus" (myx-) and "animal" (zo-).
		In structure and appearance the polar capsules closely resemble the stinging cells of Cnidaria.
		On account of this, biologists have generally regarded the Myxozoa as extremely reduced cnidarians, and in particular as close relatives of Polypodium, with some genetic support.

		But despite their economic impact, the Myxozoa is a scientifically challenging group of organisms and their biology, life cycle, taxonomy and phylogeny have been controversial for many years.
		However, controversy is still alive regarding the position of the Myxozoa in the animal phylogenetic tree.
		Further molecular phylogeny studies targeting additional genes could possibly give a more accurate picture of Myxozoa origin, but a better understanding of the ultrastructure, life cycle, metabolism and host/parasite interactions is also necessary in order to clarify many puzzling biological features of this interesting group of parasites.

		The first diverging lineages are formed by the successive emergence of poriferans-which appear to be paraphyletic by including ctenophores-cnidarians, Placozoa and the Myxozoa, which are characterized by long branch lenghts.
		Myxozoa are clearly separated from the triploblastic animals (Bilateria).
		Although the SRC method has shown to be less sensitive to unequal evolutionary rates than classical methods (e.g., Van de Peer et al., 1996a, b; Van de Peer and De Wachter 1997b), we are not sure whether it can completely avoid the attraction effect of very long branches.

		More recently, following recognition of profound differences in the ultrastructural composition of these parasites, Microspora Sprague, 1977 was raised to the rank of phylum and has been found, by molecular phylogenetic techniques, to be representative of 1 of the earliest branching eukaryote lineages (Vossbrinck et al., 1987; Sogin et al., 1989).
		Systematists have failed to be decisive about myxozoan phylogenetic affinities, either finding the suggestion of a cnidarian connection to be preposterous, or considering the recent suggestion (Smothers et al., 1994) of a relationship with nematodes to be an obvious failure of molecular phylogenetics.
		Here, we present both morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence that the phylum must be abandoned because myxozoans have their origins in a clade of parasitic cnidarians.

		The Cnidaria (jellyfish, anenomes, corals, etc) are the main diploblastic phylum; the Ctenophora (comb jellies) may also belong here.
		The Myxozoa, a group of microscopic parasites, have been considered reduced cnidarians but may instead be derived from the Bilateria.
		The remaining forms comprise a group called the Bilateria, since they are bilaterally symmetric (at least to some degree), and are triploblastic.

	Dr Mansour Elmatbouli Research Group
		An understanding of the biology of Myxozoa, including their life cycle, is required to control and alleviate economic losses in fisheries and mariculture worldwide.
		The life cycles of about 14 myxosporeans have been elucidated, all are freshwater and involve an alternate host, an annelid worm (either an oligochaete or a polychaete), in which they develop into an actinosporean which is infective to fish.
		This prompted a revision of the classes within the phylum Myxozoa because an individual species can neither be assigned to two different classes nor, have two generic and specific names; one class, the Actinosporea, has been suppressed leaving a single class, the Myxosporea.

		A major outcome of this work has been the discovery that Buddenbrockia, a wormlike endoparasite of freshwater bryozoans, is a myxozoan.
		This discovery has finally allowed one of the last of the enigmatic animal taxa to be assigned to a phylum.
		Buddenbrockia also demonstrates that an extreme level of degeneracy characterises the rest of the Myxozoa which consequently have been misclassified as protists for most of the time that they have been recognised.
