A WEHI-led study has demonstrated a novel late liver-stage malaria immunisation strategy that can generate durable, multi-layered immunity using a parasite-arresting drug candidate. Mosquito bites then boosted the immune response over time. Published in @science.org

Researchers have discovered a new way to help prevent malaria that could one day transform mosquito bites from a source of deadly infection into immunity boosters against the disease.
