[Display omitted] •Four novel mt genomes of S. erinaceieuropaei were successfully assembled and annotated.•Cox1, cytb and nad4 are suitable for population genetic studies of S. erinaceieuropaei.•Close relationships among Diphyllobothrium, Diplogonoporus and Spirometra were identified. The larva of S...
