Why is it important?
Design categories of protozoal vaccines are described and compared in tables. Analyses are offered to explain the disparity between the number of successful animal vaccines and the lack of human vaccines. Collective evidence indicates that whole organism protozoal vaccines are effective, and these types of vaccines should be developed for malaria.
