ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides isolated polypeptides useful in the treatment and prevention of malaria caused byPlasmodium falciparumorP. vivax. In particular, the polypeptides are derived from the binding domains of the proteins in the EBL family as well as the sialic acid binding protein (SABP) onP. falciparummerozoites. The polypeptides may also be derived from the Duffy antigen binding protein (DABP) onP. vivaxmerozoites.
