Funded Activity Summary

Like most other organisms, each malaria parasite has unique characteristics. A malaria vaccine will need to incorporate these differences to be effective against all parasites in a population. This project will measure the variability and fluctuations of eight of the most promising vaccine targets in a number of natural malaria populations. With this knowledge, a vaccine that is effective against all parasites in the population can be developed and its future success maintained.
