the costs and compare these costs to those that would be incurred in distributing a 'conventional' malaria vaccine through the EPI. Capital and recurrent costs for storage, transportation, labor, energy usage
Randomized double-blind controlled Phase I/IIa trial to assess the efficacy of malaria vaccine PfCS102 to protect against challenge with <em>P.... (Publications)
this Phase I/IIa double-blind controlled trial was to test the efficacy of the sporozoite-based malaria vaccine PfCS 282-383 (PfCS102) to protect against Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia. 16 volunteers [...] antibodies against PfCS102 versus none control. 8/8 vaccinees and 6/6 controls challenged developed malaria parasitaemia. The duration from infection to onset of patent parasitaemia was similar in both groups

A Phase I safety and immunogenicity study with a three-component blood- stage malaria vaccine was conducted in adult male subjects living in an endemic area of Papua New Guinea. The preparations were
Habitat-based larval interventions: a new perspective for malaria control (Publications)
environmental management of mosquito larval habitats has been rekindled due to deterioration of malaria in tropical Africa. Environmental management programs were typically implemented as "all-out" campaigns [...] tiveness, and sustainability of such approaches, particularly when implemented along with other malaria control measures
