Abstract

Antibodies to Pfs28 block Plasmodium falciparum transmission and when combined with antibodies to Pfs25 provide synergy in blocking transmission. Pfs28 and Pfs25 are immunogenic, have limited antigenic diversity, and are structurally similar and genetically linked on chromosome 10. Pfs28 may prove a useful addition to Pfs25 in an effective transmission-blocking vaccine.
