March 18, 2015 By Matt Feldman In Publications No Comments

In the latest edition of Malaria Journal, Mordmüller et al. report on their findings. Their conclusions: IV inoculation of PfSPZ is safe, well tolerated and highly reproducible. It shall further accelerate development of anti-malarial interventions through standardization and facilitation of CHMI. Beyond this, rational dose selection for whole PfSPZ-based immunization and complex study designs are now possible.
