摘要: Infectious bursal disease (IBD), caused by the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), significantly threatens global poultry health by inducing immunosuppression and causing economic losses. To enhance vaccination efficacy, we engineered a transgenic strain of Eimeria acervulina (Ea-2C3d) expressing a fusion protein composed of IBDV VP2 and three tandem C3d segments (3C3d), utilizing C3d's adjuvant properties to boost immune responses. The transgene was generated by integrating codon-optimized VP2 and 3C3d sequences into the E. acervulina genome using restriction enzyme-mediated transfection. PCR, protein, and genome sequencing confirmed the successful integration and expression of VP2 fusion C3d, but only two copies of C3d were successfully expressed, due to a partial deletion of one C3d copy during the transfection process. In vivo studies demonstrated that Ea-2C3d elicited significantly higher anti-VP2 antibody titers than the parental Ea-VP2 strain (P < 0.05), especially following second immunization. Upon challenge with virulent IBDV, chickens immunized with Ea-2C3d displayed reduced bursal lesions (histopathological score ≤ 1) and maintained bursal integrity (bursal index >0.7), comparable to those receiving a commercial subunit vaccine. Despite reduced reproductive capacity in the transgenic parasites, Ea-2C3d maintained its immunogenicity and safety. These findings highlight that C3d adjuvant enhances VP2-mediated protection in a coccidial vector, presenting a novel dual-protection strategy against IBD and coccidiosis.
