The application provides a vaccine against
ichthyophthiriasis and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of fish
disease prevention and control. The application uses inactivated whole worms of in-vitro large-scale cultured Amphilina alata as a cross
antigen, and fish complement C5a
protein as an
immunoadjuvant, and the two synergistically play a high-efficiency
immune protection role. The application mixes and emulsifies the C5a
adjuvant and the
antigen at an effective
dose of 1x10 4 6x10 4 per
tail to prepare the vaccine. After
intraperitoneal injection and secondary boosting, the vaccine produces significant cross protection against the infection of the ichthyophthirius, and the protection effect is significantly better than that of a traditional Freund's
adjuvant vaccine. The application breaks the
bottleneck that the ichthyophthirius cannot be cultured
in vitro and thus a large number of worm bodies cannot be obtained for large-scale preparation of whole worm vaccines, and also solves the problem of poor safety of traditional adjuvants, has the advantages of low cost, good effect, easy large-scale production and the like, and is suitable for green immune prevention and control of
ichthyophthiriasis of
freshwater fish.
