Immune responses to sporozoite antigens and their relationship to naturally acquired immunity to malaria

BM Greenwood
PMCID: PMC2393040  PMID: 2094586

Abstract

This paper reviews some of the epidemiological approaches that have been explored and gives some examples of how these methods have been used to investigate naturally acquired immunity to sporozoite infections.
