Unreviewed
Classification Myxozoa was moved under Cnidaria as a Class, and Malacosporea and Myxosporea were includes as its two subclasses [details]habitat Myxozoa are obligate parasites of marine and freshwater fish and freshwater bryozoans. They have also been reported rarely in amphibians, reptiles and in the brain of a mole. [details]
