Title: Phylogenetic Analysis of Complete Small Subunit Ribosomal RNA Coding Region of Myxidium lieberkuehni: Evidence that Myxozoa are Metazoa and Related to the Bilateria
Abstract: The phylogenetic position of Myxozoa relative to other eukaryotes has been controversialDuring their complex life cycles they show both protist and metazoan charactersIn contrast to their general classification as protists, phylogenetic comparisons of the complete 16Slike rRNA sequence of the myxosporean Myxidium lieberkuehni with other, unicellular and metazoan sequences show that Myxozoa share a common evolutionary history with Metazoa and are most closely related to the Bilateria
