Abstract: Medical tapeworms can affect both human and animals,leading to serious parasitic zoonoses. Currently,our knowledge about the mechanism of adaptive evolution of cestoda remains fragmentary. Nevertheless,comparative analysis of omics can contribute to better understanding of the gene expression level during adaptive evolution of cestoda as well as further study of the function and mechanism of the target gene families. This paper summarizes the research progress on adaptive evolution of Cestoda based on omics,with an attempt to lay a foundation in following research in this field.
