Multilocus sequence typing and its application on population genetic struc-ture analysis of parasites / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

ABSTRACT

Multilocus sequence typing MLST with high solution sensitivity and specificity is widely used to study the population genetic structure of pathogen by amplification and sequencing of the housekeeping genes. MLST also provides more evidence and plays an important role in parasite research. This paper reviews the principle and method of MLST and its applica-tion on population genetic structure analysis of parasites.
