MALARIA ERADICATION
THROUGH VACCINATION
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.
The Government of Equatorial Guinea, US Energy Companies, and Sanaria Sign Agreements to Extend Support for Clinical Development of PfSPZ Vaccine for Malaria and a Pathway Towards Malaria Elimination on Bioko Island
Sanaria Inc. and the Government of Equatorial Guinea last week signed an agreement that continues their joint commitment to develop Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine as a tool for malaria elimination. This follows a new, broader agreement between the Government of Equatorial Guinea (EG) and industry partners, Marathon Oil Corporation, Noble Energy Inc. and Atlantic Methanol Production Company (AMPCO), to sponsor clinical development of Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine, including the Phase 3 clinical program starting in 2020. This long standing, successful partnership highlights the unique involvement of an African government and private-sector energy companies in developing a vaccine for a largely African problem.

Sanaria exhibits at annual Rockville Science Day
On April 22nd Sanaria participated at the 29th annual Rockville Science Day. Our exhibit featured different stages of the mosquito life cycle and a liquid nitrogen demonstration. For many of the children it was their first time looking through a microscope. At Sanaria we strive to engage with our community and foster scientific curiosity. Check out the future scientists:
An Urgent Need for Malaria Vaccines
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
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.
