A team of researchers has identified previously unknown antibody may result in developing highly effective vaccine against malaria.

VACCINE. A team of researchers has identified previously unknown antibody may result in developing vaccines against the parasite Plasmodium falciparum , responsible for the most severe form of malaria, according to a study published Wednesday, July 30 in the journal Science Translational Medicine .

By submitting a large number of parasite proteins with antibodies naturally produced by the immune infected children in Kenya system, scientists have identified previously unknown antigens.

They also found new ways to use these antigens, which cause an immune reaction, by combining them with vaccines to enhance protection.

"Resistance to antimalarial treatment (...) is a growing problem that makes it necessary to develop vaccines to combat Plasmodium falciparum before he makes sick people infected, "said Dr. Faith Osier, the Medical Research Institute of Kenya (KEMRI), lead author of the study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
