description Infectious bursal disease (IBD), as a highly infectious immunosuppressive disease, causes severe economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> is an appealing vehicle used in oral vaccine formulations to safely and effectively deliver heterologous antigens. It can elicit systemic and mucosal responses. This study aims to explore the potential as oral an vaccine for <i>S. cerevisiae</i> expressing the capsid protein VP2 of IBDV. We constructed the recombinant <i>S. cerevisiae,</i> demonstrated that VP2 was displayed on the cell surface and had high immunoreactivity. By using the live ST1814G/Aga2-VP2 strain to immunize the mice, the results showed that recombinant <i>S. cerevisiae</i> significantly increased specific IgG and sIgA antibody titers, indicating the potential efficacy of vaccine-induced protection. These results suggested that the VP2 protein-expressing recombinant <i>S. cerevisiae</i> strain was a promising candidate oral subunit vaccine to prevent IBDV infection.
