The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In the current study whole poultry red mite antigens were extracted and birds were immunized subcutaneously with either antigen in adjuvant (antigen group) or PBS in adjuvant (control group). Immune responses of birds following immunization were investigated by ELISA and Western blotting, while vaccine efficacy was assessed by feeding of red mites on birds. Immunized birds showed a significant (P
