It is recognized that an effective, low-cost oral vaccine may effectively contribute to prevent Taenia solium cysticercosis; plant-based vaccines, on the other hand, can make this goal feasible. Plants are optimal platforms for the massive production of oral vaccines. In this chapter, advances toward the development of oral plant-based vaccine against cysticercosis are reviewed. © Springer International Publishing AG. All rights reserved.
