Abstract: Parasitic diseases cause significant economic losses in breeding industry worldwide, and some parasitic diseases pose major public health threats. Thus, it is crucial to make a timely and accurate diagnosis of parasitic diseases for disease prevention and control. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology can effectively improve the accuracy of diagnosis for its advantages of high sensitivity, specificity and convenience, so this technology can provide reliable technical support for the prevention and control of parasitic diseases. In this review, the categories of PCR techniques and their target genes used in the diagnosis of parasitic diseases in the past 10 years (2012-2022) were summerized, in the hope of providing a reference for the diagnosis of parasitic diseases.

Key words: PCR technology, target gene, diagnosis of parasitic diseases
