Myxozoan Evolution, Ecology and Development [electronic resource] edited by Beth Okamura, Alexander Gruhl, Jerri L. Bartholomew.
This book provides an up-to-date review of the biology of myxozoans, which represent a divergent clade of endoparasitic cnidarians. Myxozoans are of fundamental interest in understanding how early diverging metazoans have adopted parasitic lifestyles, and are also of considerable economic and ecolog...
