Synopsis

With an estimated 3–4 million deaths a year caused by malaria, the impact of this disease has brought about increased research efforts for developing new and more effective malaria control strategies. Although development of vaccines against the malaria parasite is a difficult task, recent successful trials give hope that immunization will prove successful in the battle to control malaria. This important new book investigates exciting new strategies in the field of malaria vaccine development. Chapters from the world′s leading authorities report major new breakthroughs in vaccine design and delivery and discuss the completely new generation of multicomponent vaccines. This valuable resource provides an insight into how science is outwitting vaccine–induced protective immune responses, and explores how the coming years will see the development of a series of vaccines designed to control malaria
