Immune events associated with high level protection against Schistosoma japonicum infection in pigs immunized with UV-attenuated cercariae.
BACKGROUND: The vaccination of radiation-attenuated Schistosoma japonicum cercariae can induce effective protection in artiodactyl, but the immune events related to protective immunity are not fully understood.
