What is Myxidium salvelini: Life Cycle & Impact about?

1) Myxidium salvelini is a protozoan parasite that infects the kidneys and bladder of fish like salmon. 2) It has a complex life cycle involving two hosts - an aquatic invertebrate like an annelid worm and its fish host. 3) Studies show M. salvelini can persist for over 25 weeks in its fish host in an arrested prespore form when the host is in seawater, inhibiting spore production, whereas it has an annual life cycle in freshwater salmonids.
