Abstract
This chapter summarises the collective knowledge of myxozoan life cycles gained through experimental studies and observations. We review myxozoan life cycles, factors that influence parasite development and the conditions required for laboratory maintenance of invertebrate hosts. Unusual modes of transmission, including fish-to-fish and vertical transmission in invertebrate hosts are highlighted. We close by summarizing attempts to propagate myxozoans in vitro.
