HIGHLY IMMUNOGENIC PROTEIN AGAINST THE INTRACELLULAR PATHOGEN AGENT PISCIRICKETTSIA SALMONIS, WHICH AFFECTS SALMON CULTURE, AN AA SEQUENCE AND NUCLEIC ACIDS OF SAID PROTEIN AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF USEFUL METHODS FOR THE PREVENTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASES CAUSED BY SAID PATHOGEN

摘要

A highly immunogenic protein against the intracellular pathogen agent Pisciickettsia salmonis is purified; said protein is further characterized b y its amino acids sequence, which are in turn useful for obtaining the protein through genetic engineering and kits and molecular markers for the diagnosis of this pathoge n. A vaccine is elaborated in order to prevent the salmonidae species infection with the Piscirickettsia salmonis pathogen agent.
