摘要:
Herein is described a method devised to cryopreserve mosquito eggs, viable upon subsequent thawing. The method reproducibly yields >25% hatched first instar larvae of Anopheles-species mosquitoes from cryopreserved eggs. The majority of hatched larvae continue to develop normally (87% pupation), through to adults (98%, 50% of which are female) which subsequently blood feed and produce viable second generation embryos that also develop normally. Adult mosquitoes obtained from cryopreserved embryos are able to be infected with Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes and produce salivary gland sporozoites in similar numbers to control mosquitoes.
摘要:
The application is directed to in vitro-reared Plasmodium sporozoites of human host range wherein sporogony from gametocyte stage to sporozoite stage is external to mosquitoes, and methods of producing the same. Provided herein are in vitro-reared infectious Plasmodium sporozoites (SPZ) of human host range, particularly P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. knowlesi, wherein sporogony from gametocyte stage to sporozoite stage is external to mosquitoes, and methods of producing the same.
摘要:
Disclosed are substantially purified Plasmodium sporozoites and preparations of Plasmodium sporozoites substantially separated from attendant non-sporozoite material, where the preparations of Plasmodium sporozoites have increasing levels of purity. Vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions comprising purified Plasmodium sporozoites are likewise provided. Methods of purifying preparations of Plasmodium sporozoites are also provided.

摘要:
This application relates to preventing malaria by administering a vaccine. More particularly, this invention relates to a vaccine against malaria infection compromising the administration of attenuated sporozoites to a human or animal.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are diagnostic methods and compositions for identifying individuals that are protected against Plasmodium falciparum caused malaria. Such methods are particularly useful for determining not only the protective efficacy of Pf whole parasite vaccines for individual subjects, but also within populations of vaccinated subjects. Also disclosed herein are subunit vaccines comprising at least one Pf immunologic determinant for protection against Plasmodium-caused malaria.
