Is it trying to speedrun turning into a crab by skipping wayy too many steps?

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

So aliens, right?

Or are we the invasive alien species?

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

Can’t tell if it looks more like Plantera (Terraria) or some baby Demagorgon (DnD/Stranger Things)

Stingrays like many sharks have spiral valve intestines, which is crazy since each turn can have a different parasite species attached
