Funded Activity Summary

People can develop partial immunity to malaria, which requires ongoing exposure to infection to be maintained. If exposure to infections is completely prevented, people can lose the immunity it has taken them years to develop. In the context of significant ongoing malaria bednet control efforts in the South West Pacific, we will investigate loss or maintenance of the malaria-immune state. This is important for vaccine development and to help us define risk of rebound disease.
