The surface antigens (SAGs) of apicomplexan protozoa play a role in adhesion and invasion of host intestinal cells, and are considered to be potential candidate antigens for vaccines. In this study, transcriptional analysis of 5 <em>Ei</em>-SAGs genes at four developmental stages was conducted, then the <em>Ei-SAG19</em> gene were screened out for prokaryotic expression and the reactogenicity of recombinant SAG19 (r<em>Ei-</em>SAG19) was investigated by immunoblotting. To assessment the protective effects of r<em>Ei-</em>SAG19, rabbits (n = 40) were randomly divided into four groups (Blank control, PBS-infected, Trx-His-S-Quil-A-infected and r<em>Ei</em>-SAG19 immunized groups), the r<em>Ei</em>-SAG19 immunized group was subcutaneously immunized with 100 μg r<em>Ei</em>-SAG19 in the neck with an interval of two weeks, and challenged with 5 × 10<sup>4</sup> homologous oocysts two weeks after the second immunization.

Certain phases of the cell cycle, such as meiotic recombination, and external factors like ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet light (UV), or chemical genotoxic agents further increase this susceptibility. Among the various types of DNA damage, double-stranded breaks (DSBs) are the most critical, as they are challenging to repair and can result in genetic instability or cell death. DSBs caused by environmental stressors are primarily repaired via one of two major pathways: non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). In multicellular eukaryotes, NHEJ predominates, but in unicellular eukaryotes such as protozoan parasites, HR seems to be the principal mechanism for DSB repair. The HR pathway is orchestrated by proteins from the RAD52 epistasis group, including RAD51, RAD52, RAD54, RAD55, and the MRN complex. This review focuses on elucidating the diverse roles and significance of RAD51 recombinase and its paralogs in protozoan parasites, such as <em>Acanthamoeba castellanii</em>, <em>Entamoeba histolytica</em> (Amoebozoa), apicomplexan parasites (Chromalveolata), <em>Naegleria fowleri</em>, <em>Giardia</em> spp., <em>Trichomonas vaginalis</em>, and trypanosomatids (Excavata), where they primarily function in HR.
