ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an immunogenically active component comprising inactivatedSarcocystis neuronacells and/or inactivatedNeospora hughesicells; antigens derived therefrom; DNA derived therefrom; or a mixture; or in combination with other vaccine components; thereof. Further provided are vaccine compositions useful for preventing or ameliorating equine protozoal myeloencephalitis infection and disease and a method for the cell culture propagation of protozoan parasites.
