ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates novel methods and compositions for blocking transmission of Plasmodium spp. which cause malaria. In particular, P28 proteins are disclosed which, when administered to a susceptible organism, induce an immune response against a 28 kD protein on the surface of Plasmodium ookinetes and block transmission of malaria.
