Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to antigenic polypeptides or peptide fragments or variants thereof suitable for use in vaccines to protect hosts susceptible to infection by cestode parasites, particularly infection by T. ovis. The antigens are preferably obtained by expression of DNA coding therefor in a recombinant host cell. The antigenic polypeptide of the invention includes the amino acid sequence of the figure.
