    AnnotationTapeworms are a highly diversified group of parasites. There has been keen interest in their phylogenetic relationships to other obligate parasitic platyhelminthes, as well as within the group itself. Recent phylogenetic analyses omitted inclusion of karyological data. Here we review the literature from 1907 to 2010 and the current status of knowledge of cytogenetics. Karyological data are discussed and tabulated for 115 species from nine eucestode orders with ideograms of 46 species, and a comparison of cytogenetic patterns between acetabulate and bothriate cestode lineages is made. Attention is drawn to gaps in our knowledge for 7 remaining orders and cestodarian groups Gyrocotylidea and Amphilinidea. The cytogenetic aspects covered are: chromosome number, triploidy, classical karyotype cytogenetics (banding patterns, karyotype asymmetry, secondary constrictions), as well as advanced techniques allowing location of genes on chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
