Antibody response dynamics to the <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>conserved vaccine candidate antigen, merozoite surface protein-1 C-terminal 19kD (MSP1-19kD), in Peruvians exposed to hypoendemic malaria transmission

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In high-transmission areas, developing immunity to symptomatic <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>infections requires 2–10 years of uninterrupted exposure. Delayed malaria-immunity has been attributed to difficult-to-develop...
