Malaria ookinete surface protein-based vaccination via the intranasal route completely blocks parasite transmission in both passive and active vaccination regimens in a rodent model of malaria infection.
-
In the study researchers developed a nasal vaccine based on ookinete-surface proteins (OSPs or also known as parasite antigens) and intranasally vaccinated mice infected with malaria.
-
The experimental vaccine, which contained parasite antigens, blocked the ookinete-to-oocyst phase in the malarial life cycle in which the malarial parasite is fertilized in the mosquito's body, the scientists wrote in the December issue of the journal Infection and Immunity.
-
Prior studies show that the ookinete-to-oocyst phase in the malaria life cycle, when the malarial parasite is fertilized in the mosquito's body, is one of the most vulnerable stages making it an ideal target for antitransmission vaccines.
