Abstract:The number of cestode species is huge with more than 1 500. Serious damage to human and animals (eg. cattle and sheep) is caused by larval cestodiasis (infections with larvae of cestodes), of which cysticercosis and hydatid disease are severe parasitic zoonoses that lead to substantial socioeconomic losses across China and worldwide. The review focuses on current progress, applications and perspectives in methods for the identification of cestodes. The present methods for identifying an unknown cestode species are mainly based on the conventional morphology, life cycle and combined molecular taxonomy. However, traditional morphological method is at a disadvantage when it is used to characterize cestode species with similar morphological characters but significant difference in genetics. Mitochondrial genes (mtDNAs) and nuclear genes have become research hotspot in the systematic taxonomy of cestodes, which will provide important basis in discovering cryptic species and characterizing one new species and lay the foundation for diagnosis, molecular epidemiology and precautionary measures of adult and larval infections of cestodes.
