Approaches for Characterising Myxozoan Species
Original language description
Myxozoan species and genera have been defined traditionally using morphological characteristics of spores and developmental stages, host preference and tissue specificity. Use of morphology is, however, limited in some taxa by a lack of reliable characters or ambiguities in their origin. For instance, morphological variation can characterise spores of closelyrelated species while similar spore morphologies in distantly-related species reflect convergence. Therefore, morphological traits are accompaniedroutinely by DNA sequences in the identification of myxozoan species. DNA sequencing methods have inherent limitations, too, which include co-amplification of host, inability to distinguish mixed infections and PCR and primer biases for some taxa over others. By combining several approaches, myxozoan researchers are revealing novel diversity and demonstrating that strains and morphologically cryptic species characterise many taxa.
