T-cell epitope polymorphisms of the <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>circumsporozoite protein among field isolates from Sierra Leone: age-dependent haplotype distribution?

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In the context of the development of a successful malaria vaccine, understanding the polymorphisms exhibited by malaria antigens in natural parasite populations is crucial for proper vaccine design. Recent observations have indicated...
