Abstract:

The development of molecular genetic markers for parasitic nematodes has significant implications in fundamental and applied research in Veterinary Parasitology. Knowledge on genetic diversity of nematodes would not only provide a theoretical basis for understanding the spread of drug-resistance alleles, but also have implications in the development of nematode control strategies. This review discusses the applications of molecular genetic markers（RFLP, RAPD, PCR-SSCP, AFLP, SSR and mitochondrial DNA） in research on the genetic diversity of parasitic nematodes.

Key words: Animal parasitic nematode, Genetic diversity, Molecular genetic marker
