Item description from seller

Oversized paperback, xiii + 441 pages, NOT ex-library. Weight over 1kg. Missing the front blank endpaper; else minor handling wear only. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- Myxozoans represent one of the most remarkable examples of evolutionary transformation in the animal kingdom. These microscopic parasites, now confirmed through molecular evidence as highly reduced cnidarians related to jellyfish and corals, have undergone such extreme simplification that their true nature eluded scientists for over a century. This volume provides the first comprehensive synthesis of myxozoan biology, bringing together research that has accelerated dramatically since their cnidarian affinity was established. The book examines the extraordinary journey from free-living ancestors to obligate parasites with complex life cycles typically involving both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Contributors explore the cellular and developmental biology of these organisms, investigating how they have retained certain cnidarian features whilst losing others entirely, including the characteristic body plan and nervous system of their relatives. Chapters address the ecological dynamics of myxozoan infections across freshwater and marine environments, host-parasite interactions, and the mechanisms underlying host specificity. Particular attention is given to species of economic and conservation significance. Myxozoans cause substantial losses in aquaculture and wild fisheries worldwide, with diseases such as whirling disease and proliferative kidney disease posing ongoing challenges for salmonid populations. The volume considers diagnostic approaches, disease management strategies, and the environmental factors influencing outbreaks. This work serves researchers in parasitology, evolutionary biology, aquatic ecology and fisheries science, offering both foundational knowledge and current research directions in a field that continues to yield surprising discoveries about the extremes of animal evolution.
