Present situation and progression of several common mitochondrial genes for identification of Echinococcus multilocularis

Mitochondrial genes, such as cox1 and nad1, are commonly used for the identification of Echinococcus multilocularis. Instead of the traditional methods which were time-consuming and laborious, they can maintain high sensitivity and specificity, and can also withstand the identification of large-scale insect species. This method was widely used in the screening of infections of the terminal and intermediate hosts of Echinococcus multilocularis. This article introduces the structural characteristics, evolutionary speed and related research results of several commonly used mitochondrial genes, and described the current research status and progression of the identification of Echinococcus multilocularis. And finally, the main problems of mitochondrial genes in the identification of Echinococcus multilocularis were discussed.
