dc.description.abstractIt is now generally recognized that the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, the cause of cystic hydatid disease, exhibits substantial genetic diversity. This variability has important implications for the design and development of vaccines, diagnostic reagents and drugs effective against this parasite. The paper describes various deoxyribonucleic acid-based approaches that have been used for accurate identification of these genetic variants and their application in molecular epidemiological surveys of cystic hydatid disease in different geographical settings.en
dc.description.sponsorshipAcknowledeements I thank my many collaborators who have either helped in the DNA analysis or who have kindly provided hydatid materials for study over a period of 20 years. I also acknowledge the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia for continual financial support. I am indepted to Douglas Barker, who was a great inspiration and source of information throughout many of the early studies described in this review.en
