MALARIA ERADICATION
THROUGH VACCINATION

Sanaria is a biotechnology company developing vaccines protective against malaria. Sanaria’s vaccines have proven highly protective against Plasmodium falciparum infection in humans.
Sanaria's vaccines are intended to be used to prevent malaria in individuals and, in combination with other malaria control measures, to halt transmission of and eliminate malaria from communities.

Employees of the Month: Amparo Tellez and Marcus Prince

The Sanaria employees of the month for March 2024 are Amparo Tellez and Marcus Prince. Amparo and Marus are members of the Manufacturing team and were nominated for employees of the month for their professionalism, consistency, and flexibility – which is key to prepare and maintain a clean and aseptic manufacturing environment that allows Sanaria operations to meet all regulatory standards.

Novel vaccine, PfSPZ-LARC2 Vaccine, to prevent malaria infection developed by Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Sanaria ready for human testing

In a report published on March 21, 2024 in EMBO Molecular Medicine (A replication competent Plasmodium falciparum parasite completely attenuated by dual gene deletion) investigators at Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Sanaria Inc. describe the development of a whole malaria parasite vaccine strain that infects the liver, develops to the late liver stage, and then gets completely stuck and cannot burst out of the liver to cause symptomatic blood infection.

An Urgent Need for Malaria Vaccines


The World Health Organization reports that malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum results in nearly half a million deaths worldwide annually. Malaria also causes over 200 million clinical cases globally each year. This disease is responsible for a loss of greater than 1% of Africa's GDP, and is a serious concern for travelers and military personnel.

Sanaria has an innovative approach to malaria vaccines using Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites (SPZ) as the platform technology for immunizing people against malaria infection. The proven effective results of this approach are documented in Sanaria’s publications.

Global Collaboration: The I-PfSPZ Consortium


Global collaboration, publication and presentation of our work is paramount.

Semi-annually, Sanaria organizes the international PfSPZ Consortium (i-PfSPZ-C) meeting for our partners, collaborators and funders where we analyze, present and discuss our findings prior to publication. The i-PfSPZ-C allows our collaborators and partners to share their work, modify research and clinical plans based on the consortium efforts and map out future funding needs.
