A review of merozoite vaccination against plasmodium knowlesi malaria

Abstract

Techniques for the isolation of merozoites of Plasmodium knowlesi malaria have allowed their use in experimental vaccines. Rhesus monkeys were protected to a very great extent from otherwise lethal challenge with this malaria when Freund’s Complete Adjuvant was a vaccine component. © 1977 Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
