Abstract
Two enigmatic groups of morphologically simple parasites of invertebrates, the Dicyemida (syn. Rhombozoa) and the Orthonectida, since the 19th century have been usually considered as two classes of the phylum Mesozoa. Early molecular evidence suggested their relationship within the Spiralia (=Lophotrochozoa), however high rates of dicyemid and orthonectid sequence evolution led to contradicting phylogeny reconstructions. Genomic data for...
