a

rMSP119 or control TBV25H vaccine was delivered in CFA. Sera used for these assays were taken on day 14 after the third immunization (the day of parasite challenge). 

b

Self-cleared infection. 

c

N, A. nancymai; V, A. vociferans. −, no detectable processing inhibition; +/−, just detectable processing inhibition; +, significant processing inhibition; ++, strong processing inhibition; +++, apparently complete processing inhibition; ++(+), 

d

Endpoint IIF titer against the FVO strain of P. falciparum parasites. 

e

Determined at A410 of 0.5 using yMSP119 QKNG as capture antigen.
