Abstract: Research on cysticercosis has been stimulated by the rapid development of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics and the emergence of molecular biological and immunological technologies. In this review, we attempt to discuss the research development on genomics of Taenia solium and candidate vaccines and antigens for cysticercosis. This will provide a new perspective for studying genomics of Taenia solium and for cysticercosis prevention and treatment, and provide a wealth of informative data for the development of novel and highly efficient vaccines against cysticercosis or diagnostic antigen molecules for cysticercosis.

Key words: Genomics, Taenia solium, Vaccine
