Rabbit coccidiosis is a worldwide-distributed parasitic protozoal disease, which has caused huge economic losses to rabbit industry. Traditional methods of anticoccidial treatment result in drug resistance and drug residue, vaccination is a promising alternative. The rEiAMA1, rEiIMP1, EmGAM56, and EmROP17 were respectively displayed on the surface of B. subtilis spores by using a coat protein (CotB) as an anchor. Then the recombinant spores were used to oral immunize rabbits, the protective effects of B. subtilis-rEiAMA1, -rEiIMP1, and -rEiAMA1+rEiIMP1 against Eimeria intestinalis were evaluated; and the protective effects of B. subtilis-EmGAM56, -EmROP17, and -EmGAM56+ EmROP17 against Eimeria magna were evaluated. The results showed that B. subtilis-rEiAMA1 immunized rabbits displayed better anti-E. intestinalis protective effect, the oocyst output and lesion score were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the oocyst output decrease ratio was 59.91%. B. subtilis-EmGAM56 immunized rabbits displayed better anti-E. magna protective effect, the oocyst output was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the oocyst output decrease ratio was 68.54%. Moreover, the immunized rabbits showed significantly increased specific serum IgG levels and specific IgA levels (P<0.05). The four recombinant B. subtilis spores can stimulate the body to produce specific intestinal and systemic humoral immune responses. B. subtilis-rEiAMA1 and B. subtilis-EmGAM56 showed better immunoprotection against E. intestinalis and E. magna, respectively. Therefore, B. subtilis is a potential live vector for rabbit coccidiosis vaccines.
