title: [New findings on the immunology of protozoan blood parasitoses in domestic animals].
abstract: Intensive research in the field of the immunology of protozoan blood parasitoses has led to a further clarification of the interrelations between parasites and hosts. Progress in the analysis of the antigen character of the parasites and investigations of the immune response form the basis for extending serological diagnosis and improved vaccines. The effectiveness of the vaccines against babesioses could be increased. Vaccines have been tested successfully against tropical theileriosis and East Coast fever. It is only with African trypanosomes that immunoprophylaxis seems to be impossible at present.
