We support rDNA based myxozoan phylogeny by the analysis of a protein coding gene and demonstrate the reliability of rDNA as a marker explaining myxozoan relationships. Our tracing the history of myxozoan character evolution discloses ancestral morphotypes and shows their development over the course of evolution. We point out several myxozoan characters that are to a certain extent congruent with the phylogeny and determined that the discrepancy between phylogeny and current taxonomy based on spore morphology is due to an extreme myxospore plasticity occurring during myxozoan evolution.
