CRISPR/Cas system, an adaptive immune system with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, may interfere exogenous nucleic acids and protect prokaryotes from external damages, is effective gene editing acid detection tools. The has been widely applied in virology bacteriology; however, there relatively less knowledge about the application of parasitic diseases. review summarizes mechanisms action provides a comprehensive overview their diseases, so as to provide insights into future studies on
