Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of animal cells is currently under intense investigation by molecular, evolutionary, and population biologists. This review summarizes the available information on the molecular biology of nematode mitochondrial DNA and explains how the fundamental knowledge obtained from these basic studies may be applied to nematode systematics, evolution, and diagnostics.

Keywords: diagnostics, gene amplification, mitochondrial DNA, systematics
