The Wnt signaling pathway is responsible for specifying the anteroposterior axis (position control genes) during embryogenesis and is a conserved pathway in metazoans (1). In planarians, free-living flatworms, there are genes of the pathway that maintain the anteroposterior axis during regeneration and tissue turnover. Differential expression of the genes wnt1, wnt11-a, wnt11-b and frizzled receptor 4 has been seen in the posterior part of the planarian, as well as Wnt inhibitors; sfrp and sfl in the anterior part (2,3). Regionalized expression of these genes has been conserved in parasitic flatworms of the Cestoda class such as Echinococcus multilocularis and Hymenolepis microstoma during their larval stage (4,5). In addition to expression during development, Wnt pathway genes in H. microstoma also specify the anteroposterior axis during adult worm strobilation (4). Taenia solium, another parasitic flatworm of the class Cestoda, causes neurocysticercosis and taeniasis in humans; however, little is known about its development (6). The present work aims to identify homologous genes of the Wnt pathway (wnt1, wnt11-a, wnt11-b, wnt2 and fz4) and to characterize their expression during the development of T. solium from egg to evaginated cysticercus. This work is important because it would allow us to understand the implication of the Wnt pathway in the development of this parasite and to use this information to search for new therapeutic targets to prevent its spread in humans.
