Next generation malaria vaccines targeting the parasite cell surface
Objectives
In this project unique tools will be used to define sporozoites in precise genetic, protein and immunological detail – using these insights to design and test tomorrow’s malaria vaccines.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
More than half a million children die each year from malaria infection. Infection starts with a mosquito bite when sporozoites, the single-celled malaria parasite form, are released into the skin. To advance the possibility of an effective, critically needed malaria vaccine.
