India’s first Malaria vaccine AdFalciVax could be a game changer in the country's decades long fight against the disease
The Indian scientific community has achieved a historic milestone by creating AdFalciVax as the nation's first homegrown malaria vaccine. The vaccine targets Plasmodium falciparum, which represents the deadliest malaria parasite species through its recombinant multi-stage design. The vaccine targets the parasites at two critical points during their life cycle starting prior to entry in blood, and continuing through the stage that enables mosquito-to-human transmission
