TLDR
To analyse genetic variability and population structure, 84 isolates of Echinococcus granulosus collected from various host species at different sites of the Tibetan plateau in China were sequenced for the whole mitochondrial nad1 and atp6 genes.About:

Journal Article
Statistical method for testing the neutral mutation hypothesis by DNA polymorphism.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the natural selection against large insertion/deletion is so weak that a large amount of variation is maintained in a population.

TL;DR: This chapter presents the global distribution of Echinococcus species and human AE and CE in maps and summarizes the global data on host assemblages, transmission, prevalence in animal definitive hosts, incidence in people and molecular epidemiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato genotypes infecting humans--review of current knowledge.
TL;DR: Biological differences between the species and genotypes have potential to affect the transmission dynamics of the parasite, requiring modification of methods used in disease control initiatives.

TL;DR: The objectives of this study were to investigate the distinction of genotypes G1 and G3 using a large global dataset, and analyse the genetic diversity and phylogeography of genotype G1 on a global scale using near-complete mitogenome sequences.

TL;DR: Comparisons with shorter mtDNA datasets revealed that 8274 bp sequences provided significantly higher phylogenetic resolution and thus more power to reveal the genetic relations between different haplotypes, revealing complex phylogeography and high genetic variation of E. granulosus s.

Arlequin suite ver 3.5: a new series of programs to perform population genetics analyses under Linux and Windows
TL;DR: The main innovations of the new version of the Arlequin program include enhanced outputs in XML format, the possibility to embed graphics displaying computation results directly into output files, and the implementation of a new method to detect loci under selection from genome scans.

Analysis of molecular variance inferred from metric distances among DNA haplotypes: application to human mitochondrial DNA restriction data.
TL;DR: In this article, a framework for the study of molecular variation within a single species is presented, where information on DNA haplotype divergence is incorporated into an analysis of variance format, derived from a matrix of squared-distances among all pairs of haplotypes.

Statistical method for testing the neutral mutation hypothesis by DNA polymorphism.
TL;DR: The relationship between the two estimates of genetic variation at the DNA level, namely the number of segregating sites and the average number of nucleotide differences estimated from pairwise comparison, is investigated in this article.
