Abstract
The invention is concerned with novel Eimeria proteins with immunogenic properties as well as with DNA sequences encoding these proteins. These proteins can be administered to chickens thereby protecting the chickens against coccidiosis. In addition the DNA encoding these proteins can be used for the preparation of a vector vaccine against coccidiosis.
Claims16
A DNA molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence coding for an Eimeria polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:10, or a fragment of said polypeptide that specifically binds with antibody raised to said polypeptide, wherein the DNA molecule is free from other genetic material of Eimeria.
