Immuno-epidemiological insights into the development of immunity to malaria and drug resistance
Objectives
The aim of this project is to better understand the maintenance and acquisition of immunity to malaria in high risk groups and attempt to elucidate how immunity can interfere with the therapeutic efficacy of antimalarials, especially in the assessment of emerging drug resistance.

Rationale and Abstract
The over-riding hypothesis is that differences in malaria transmission will lead to differential acquisition of immunity and efficacy of malaria interventions within and between populations. Understanding immunity to malaria is pivotal to develop new interventions, to understand the effectiveness of current malaria treatment and control programs to reduce the global burden of malarial disease.
