Abstract: The defense mechanisms of Taeniidae against host immune reaction were reviewed. The parasites may defend themselves from the host’s immune attack by: ① producing specific biochemicals as barriers against the damage caused by immune reactions, ② changing surface antigens and secret?鄄ing some active substances that interfere and deconstruct host’s immune system and other hazards, ③ self-disguising through synthesizing homologies to host’s substances in structure or function in order to avoid the immune surveillance of the host.

Key words: Taeniidae, Immunosuppression
