Seems like March 2025 has been an exciting month for parasitology. This and the non breathing myxozoan are rather unusual finds

Don't forget the largest parasite found to date is having its moment right now as well, the genus of Muskusfucksus.

That's very similar to the myxozoan I read about the other day. The more you know

Myxozoan are common parasite of salmonid fish, has to do with them being farmer situation.

Acanthecephalon is also the unusual one, I had the chance of dissecting sand crabs which are filled with these parasites
