Abstract: | The aim of this review is to highlight the effectiveness of the technique of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis in answering questions relating to the systematics of parasites and to highlight errors in the way the technique has been used and the results interpreted. We have approached this topic by answering specific questions that we have been asked by colleagues and students not necessarily familiar with the technique, the method of data analysis and its application. Although the technique has been applied to provide answers for taxonomic and population genetics studies, it remains under-utilised, perhaps because of recent advances in newer molecular technology. Rather than not acknowledge or dismiss the value of more traditional technology, we suggest that researchers examine problems in the systematic of parasites by the comparison of data derived from morphological, biochemical and molecular techniques. |
