malaria is one of the most common diseases on earth, and affects 10% of the worlds population, with over 300,000 new cases each year. In addition, the complex life cycle of the apicomplexan Plasmodium (the causative agent of malaria) makes it difficult to develop a vaccine against the disease because it involves transmission between several hosts.
