**6.1 Pig vaccination and anthelmintic medication to prevent T. solium cysticercosis infection**

*T. solium* cysticercosis is primarily transmitted through the consumption of undercooked pork contaminated with *T. solium* eggs. Pig vaccination and anthelmintic medication have emerged as crucial preventive measures in controlling this infection. Vaccination programs targeting pigs aim to stimulate an immune response against the parasite, thereby reducing the risk of infection. Moreover, anthelmintic medication administered to pigs effectively eliminates the tapeworm infection, breaking the transmission cycle. By implementing rigorous vaccination and medication protocols, the prevalence of *T. solium* cysticercosis in pig populations can be significantly reduced, consequently decreasing the risk of human infection [55–57].
