The relevance of evolutionary genetics for identification of Trichinella sp. and other pathogens at the strain, subspecies and species levels

In the specific field of Trichinella research, the impact of evolutionary methods has been until now limited. This is all the more distressing, since this group of parasites is characterized by hard taxonomical problems. Moreover, for the epidemiological tracking of Trichinella populations, high-dis...
