Parasite journal club: Myxozoans II

At the parasite journal club this week we will try again to discuss the myxozoans, a weird group of parasites within the opisthokonts. They are a strange group of microscopic sized metazoans related to the Cnidaria, and are found in aquatic habitats where they act as parasites of fish, amphibians, reptiles and rarely invertebrates.

Hope to see you on Friday!
