Abstract: Cysticercus pisiformis which is larval of Taenia pisiformis, infects the lagomorpha animals (eg. rabbit). As one of common parasite diseases in rabbits, cysticercosis is caused by Cysticercus pisiformis without obvious clinical symptoms and does not get enough attention by farmers. Thus, cysticercosis is treated by lack of standardization in rabbit, and negatively impacts on rabbit production. According to research data in recent years, this paper deals with the morphlogy, molecular biology, epidemiology, pathogenicity, diagnosis and preventive measures of cysticercosis in rabbit, which will provide a foundation for control of rabbit cysticercosis.

Key words: Taenia pisiformis; Cysticercus pisiformis; rabbit
