摘要： The EG95-based vaccine protects sheep from infection with the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. The EG95 encoding gene is a member of a multigene family, several members of which are expressed in the oncosphere, believed to be the target of immunity induced by the vaccine. E. granulosus exhibits extensive intraspecific (strain) variation, and variability of the eg95 gene in different isolates of E. granulosus may directly impact the effectiveness of the EG95-based vaccine. We analyzed the eg95 gene from E. granulosus collected in Xinjiang, in northwest China, where hydatid disease is hyperendemic. The gene is expressed in oncospheres, protoscoleces, and immature and mature adult worms, and the eg95 gene family was shown to comprise two basic sequence types. Very limited sequence variation was evident in the EG95 protein from oncospheres. This high degree of sequence conservation predicts that the vaccine will continue to be effective in China and elsewhere.
