| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plasmodium vivax is the causative agent of human malaria spreading in the south-east Asia and the South America. To eradicate Plasmodium vivax, development of transmission blocking vaccine is required. Here, we intended to evaluate the effectiveness of novel vaccine target, named MGS, using parasite-infected blood collected from Thailand.
The specific antibodies against PvMGS generated from a rabbit had a tendency to reduce parasite development inside mosquito bodies. In addition, the genetic polymorphisms in PvMGS locus were less frequent than those in other vaccine candidate antigens, such as PvCSP or PvAMA1. Our findings suggest that PvMGS is promising target for transmission blocking vaccine development.
