Abstract
Malarial immunity shown by Ghanaian children in a recent study could aid researchers in the development of an effective vaccine. In the study published in June in Infection and Immunity, the children were screened for antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum and antigens on infected erythrocytes. Children with higher levels of antibodies directed against antigens on infected cells were less likely to contract malaria during the subsequent malaria season. The WHO estimates that, had malaria been eliminated from Africa years ago, Africa's GDP would now be increased by $100 billion.
