1. A method for prevention or treatment of parasitization by nematodes of an animal, comprising administering to the animal a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
2. A method for prevention or treatment of parasitazion by nematodes of an animal, comprising administering to the animal a therapeutically effective amount of:
a peptide whose amino acid sequence has at least 80% homology with SEQ ID NO: 1.
3. A method for prevention or treatment of parasitazion by nematodes of an animal, comprising administering to the animal a therapeutically effective amount of a vaccine comprising a peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
4. The method for prevention or treatment according to claim 2 , wherein the peptide is found or transduced in a therapeutically effective amount capable of generating antibodies for use in production of vaccines.
