Abstract
A multivalent anthelmintic vaccine targets both hookworm and schistosomiasis. The vaccine includes, at a minimum, a recombinant third-stage larval hookworm antigen, a recombinant adult stage hookworm antigen, and a recombinant schistosome antigen. Preferably, the hookworm antigens areantigens, although antigens from other hookworm species (e.g.) may also be employed. The schistosome antigen is preferably aor aantigen although antigens from other schistosome species (e.g.) may also be employed. In some cases full or partial sequences of schistosome antigens may be fused with full or partial sequences of hookworm {) to produce recombinant chimeric antigens.
