The immunogenicity of Leucocytozoon caulleryi sporozoites for chickens and their reactivity in vitro with specific immune sera were studied. Almost all of the chickens that had been immunized with the sporozoite antigens survived the sporozoite challenge. The degree of parasitemia observed in the immunized chickens was significantly lower than that found in the nonimmunized chickens. Specific antibodies against sporozoites were tested by the circumsporozoite precipitation (CSP) reaction. Antibodies were demonstrated in the sera of chickens that had been immunized with the sporozoite antigens or chickens that had recovered from a primary infection with L. caulleryi sporozoites. When viable mature sporozoites were incubated in vitro with serum from immune chickens, agglutination and a long, thread-like precipitate at one end of the sporozoite could be seen within a few minutes under a phase-contrast microscope. The effects of specific immune serum on the infectivity of sporozoites were examined by the sporozoite neutralization activity (SNA) test. Sporozoites that had been incubated in vitro with serum from immune chickens lost their infectivity to chickens. The CSP reaction and the SNA test in L. caulleryi infection were stage- and species-specific.
