Abstract excerpt
The induction of immunity by irradiated sporozoites has been a bench-mark of immunological protection against the malaria parasite. Herein we confirm that different mouse strains exhibit different susceptibilities to sporozoite-induced infection of Plasmodium berghei. We note, however, that after...
