Enhancement of naturally-acquired immunity against malaria by drug-use.
Authors: Bijker E, Sauerwein RW
Abstract
Combination of chemoprophylaxis with chloroquine and so-called 'controlled human malaria infections' has been shown to induce sustained and fully protective immunity against malaria in experimental settings. This opens possibilities of translating this approach into an effective and applicable strategy for the field. We review the different ways in which anti-malarial drugs have been used for prevention of malaria in endemic settings and will discuss possibilities and challenges of applying a strategy of drug use and natural acquired infection in the field.
