Malaria Vaccine Prompts Victims’ Immune System to Eliminate Parasite From Mosquitoes

| No Comments

A novel method pf preventing disease. Use the human body as a vector to immunize mosquitoes against malaria. The vaccine, so far tested only in mice, would prompt the immune system of a person who receives it to eliminate the parasite from the digestive tract of a malaria-carrying mosquito, after the mosquito has fed upon the blood of the vaccinated individual. The vaccine would not prevent or limit malarial disease in the person who received it.
