a

Day of the first appearance of detectable parasitemia after parasite challenge. 

b

Highest percentage of infected RBCs observed following parasite challenge. 

c

Day monkeys received treatment with mefloquine to cure parasitemia. (A), treatment given for severe anemia (hematocrit below 25%); (P), treatment given for parasitemia above 25%. 

d

Self-clear, infection cleared after reaching a low-grade parasitemia; virulent, above 5% parasitemia requiring treatment. 

e

Reaction against the FVO strain of P. falciparum. Sera were taken on day 14 after the third immunization (the day of parasite challenge). 

f

Determined at A410 of 0.5 using yMSP119 QKNG as capture antigen. Pre, sera taken on the day of parasite challenge; Post, sera taken 4 weeks after the parasite challenge; ND, not determined.
