摘要：

Developing a vaccine against malaria is a major priority of the WHO. A decade of research exploiting the techniques of molecular biology has yielded a series of potentially protective vaccines. However, progress has been frustrated by the complexity of the parasite's life cycle and the antigenic diversity exhibited by each stage. Although candidate vaccines are now entering human trials, questions still arise concerning the nature of a successful malaria vaccine and who will benefit from it.
