Article Synopsis
- Coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria, is an economically harmful parasitic disease in chickens, pushing researchers to find better vaccines due to issues with existing chemoprophylaxis and live vaccines.
- A recombinant strain of Lactobacillus plantarum was developed to deliver antigens from Eimeria tenella and Salmonella enterica, showing potential as a vaccine for boosting chicken immunity.
- The study found that oral immunization with this recombinant L. plantarum significantly enhanced immune responses, reduced parasite shedding, and improved intestinal health in chickens, indicating its effectiveness as a vaccine carrier.
