Vaccines for Prevention of Malaria
Abstract
This effort is to better understand and identify new proteins in the design of candidate vaccines for various types of malaria including the severe form of malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) and the less severe but relapsing form (Plasmodium vivax). A highly effective vaccine could reduce/eliminate the use of anti-malarial drugs and also reduce the development of drug resistance to current/future drugs. In FY17 this research area and the Drugs to Prevent/Treat Parasitic Diseases research area are merged into one task area titled Parasitic Diseases – Drugs and Vaccines.
