Abstract

An effective vaccine against human parasitic infections remains elusive even after tremendous progress made in vaccine development for other microbial diseases. To date, the most promising parasite vaccine is that for malaria, which may go into commercial production in near future. The development of a parasite vaccine has been hampered not only by scientific and technological hurdles, but also due to economical considerations. The situation however, is slowly improving because of initiatives taken various non-profit organizations to boost up the research and development in this hitherto neglected field. Vaccines for leishmaniasis, hookworm, and schistosoma infections are now at an advanced stage of development, partly because of these efforts. Key words: Parasites, vaccines, Developmental problems.
