This project investigates the unique evolutionary traits of myxozoan parasites, focusing on their genetic and developmental simplifications. By comparing two species, the research aims to enhance understanding of parasitism and its impact on morphology within the Cnidaria group.
Myxozoa are endoparasitic animals that exploit invertebrates and fish.
Their phylogenetic position has long been controversial.
However, recent placement within Cnidaria makes it clear that myxozoans have undergone astonishing morphological simplification associated with the evolution of parasitism.
Such simplification is characteristic of many parasites but the genetic and developmental bases are poorly understood.
Myxozoa demonstrate perhaps the most extreme example of simplification known to…
