The invention discloses a preparation method and application of attenuated live vaccine chitosan microsphere for a porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. The method comprises the following steps: culturinga porcine epidemic diarrhea virus attenuated strain PEDV-YN144, and filtering, so as to obtain virus filtrate; adding a sodium hydrogen carbonate solution into the virus filtrate, slowly dropwide adding a chitosan solution under a magnetic stirring condition; slowly dropwise adding a sodium tripolyphosphate solution; and stirring, so as to obtain mixed liquid; uniformly mixing gelatin with the mixed liquid, and carrying out freeze drying, so as to obtain the attenuated live vaccine chitosan microsphere for the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. An organic reagent is not added in a packaging process adopted in the method, the antigen activity is preserved, the preparation process is simple, the time is saved, and the attenuated live vaccine chitosan microsphere is easy to store and transport.According to the attenuated live vaccine chitosan microsphere for the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, the immune effect of a vaccine can be improved, and the action time of the vaccine can be prolonged.
