Recombinant Vaccines Against Caligid Copepods (Sea Lice) and Antigen Sequences Thereof

摘要

Molecular targets and vaccines against them in the treatment of sea lice infection of fish are provided, particularly caligid copepods. Vaccines targeted to L. salmonis trypsin are shown to reduce the quantity of sea lice present in challenged salmon from day 14 p.i. onward. Additional and novel molecular targets for vaccines are also provided.
