Abstract

PARASITOLOGY research at the Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A., is directed toward developing effective vaccines against malaria and schistosomiasis. The malaria vaccine is based on radiation-attenuated sporozoites which are effective immunogens but must be separated from their mosquito host and purified. The schistosomiasis program focuses on studies of the use of radiation-attenuated cercariae for vaccine development and for research on immunity mechanisms in experimental schistosomiasis.
