<p>The present invention relates to Trichinella vaccines that include a β-tyvelose-containing composition and to the use of such vaccines to protect animals from Trichinella infections, and particularly from trichinosis caused by Trichinella spiralis infection. Such vaccines can also be used to produce antibodies that are capable of protecting an animal from Trichinella infections and of diagnosing such infections. The present invention also relates to Trichinella diagnostic reagents that include a β-tyvelose-containing composition and use of such reagents to detect Trichinella, and particularly Trichinella spiralis infections. The present invention also includes diagnostic kits based on such reagents and therapeutic agents based on the knowledge that β-tyvelose is produced by Trichinella spiralis parasites.</p> |
