Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 365))

Abstract

Cysticercosis and cystic echinococcosis are zoonotic parasitic diseases commonly transmitted by livestock animals. Past and future efforts to reduce transmission of these diseases adopt a One Health approach where control measures are implemented largely in the parasites’ animal hosts in order to bring about, indirectly, a reduction in human disease. New and highly effective vaccines have been produced which are capable of preventing infections with Echinococcus granulosus (cystic echinococcosis) and Taenia solium (cysticercosis) in their animal intermediate hosts. Application of vaccines, together with taeniacides in the parasites’ definitive hosts, provides new opportunities for control of these diseases and a reduction in the global burden of human cysticercosis and cystic echinococcosis.
