CA 2215529

The present invention relates to Trichinella vaccines that include a .beta.- 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 .beta.-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 .beta.- tyvelose is produced by Trichinella spiralis parasites.

La présente invention concerne des vaccins contre la Trichinella, lesquels vaccins incluent une composition à base de .beta.-tyvelose. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation de tels vaccins pour protéger les animaux contre l'infection par la Trichinella, et en particulier contre la trichinose provoquée par la Trichinella spiralis. De tels vaccins peuvent également servir à produire des anticorps capables de protéger un animal contre les infections par la Trichinella et de diagnostiquer de telles infections. L'invention concerne en outre, non seulement des réactifs de diagnostic de Trichinella, lesquels agents incluent une composition à base de .beta.-tyvelose, mais également l'utilisation de tels réactifs pour le dépistage de l'infection par la Trichinella, et en particulier par la Trichinella spiralis. L'invention concerne enfin, d'une part des trousses de diagnostic à base de tels réactifs, et d'autre part des agents thérapeutiques déterminés à partir de la connaissance que l'on a que la .beta.-tyvelose est produite par les parasites à Trichinella spiralis.
