The paper presents a historic review of various hypothesis concerning the myxozoan life and nuclear cycles.
The comparison of DAPI- and Feulgen-image-cytometry results of DNA amount in myxozoan actinospora
and myxospora nuclei, in connection with the new data on the animal life and nuclear cycle, has been performed.
Possible reasons for the data discrepancy are considered. The further perspectives of myxozoan biology, cytology,
karyology and taxonomy investigation in Russia are discussed.
Key words: cytometry, life and nuclear cycles, Myxosporea, Myxozoa
