Leucocytozoon sp. is blood protozoa parasite that can cause leucocytozoonosis or Malaria-like. This parasite frequently infects young chicken. Transmission can be occured by Simulium sp. or Culicoides sp. The objective of this study was to know profile of sporozoite protein of Leucocytozoon sp. from Culicoides sp. around poultry farm. This study advantage can be used as information for science development particularly parasitology. Moreover, the sporozoite protein can be developed for vaccine seed and/or diagnostic kit so that chicken leucocytozoonosis can be controlled. Culicoides sp. was taked from Leucocytozoon sp. infected poultry farm. Isolation of fly used light trap, then they were collected with aspirator. Leucocytozoon sp. stage in infected chicken was gamet through clearly blood smear sample. Leucocytozoon sp. sporozoite was isolated from Culicoides sp. Whole sporozoite proteins isolated and identified using SDS-PAGE. The result of the study was molecule weight of sporozoite protein of Leucocytozoon sp. in 37.58 kDa. Culicoides sp, Leucocytozoon sp., sporozoite protein
