To observe the long lasting effect of the recombinant Sj26GST sub-unit vaccine against Schistosoma japonicum in cattle, animals aged from 5 to 12 months were vaccinated with reSjc26GST, and were challenged by natural infection 6 months or 12 months after vaccination. Worm burdens per cattle and egg burden in tissue (per gram) of cattle with or without vaccination were compared. The results showed that anti-reSjc26GST antibodies were produced in vaccinated cattle. Following natural infection, the vaccinated and the control non-vaccinated cattle were all found to be infected with S. japonicum. A 30% reduction in worm number was observed in the vaccinated cattle when compared with the control cattle. The anti-fecundity effect was characterized by an average of 60% decrease in eggs deposited in the liver of vaccinated cattle; such a decrease is obviously very significant. In addition to the anti-fecundity effect induced in the vaccinated cattle, the number of miracidum hatched per 50 g faeces and the number of eggs released in intestinal tissues per gram were reduced or decreased. Results suggested that the immune responses induced by reSjc26GST in cattle were similar to that in buffaloes and in pigs. In addition, our result demonstrated that the lasting effect of immunity to S. japonicum induced in cattle after vaccination with reSjc 26 GST could persist at least 12 months.
