Cysticercosis and hydatid disease are caused by infections with the larval stages of tapeworm parasites. They are life-threatening zoonotic diseases, transmitted to humans from animals and are most common in people living in poor countries. This project aims to develop practical vaccines to assist with the prevention of these diseases in humans. We will vaccinate the parasites' natural animal hosts and break the parasite life-cycles, thereby indirectly and inexpensively preventing the diseases being passed to humans.

囊虫病和包虫病是由绦虫寄生虫的幼虫感染引起的。它们是威胁生命的人畜共患疾病，从动物传播给人类，在贫穷国家的人群中最常见。该项目旨在开发实用的疫苗，以协助预防人类这些疾病。我们将为寄生虫的自然动物宿主接种疫苗并打破寄生虫的生命周期，从而间接且廉价地防止疾病传播给人类。
