title: Peptide based malaria vaccine development: personal considerations.
abstract: A brief historical account of synthetic peptide approach to malaria vaccine discovery and development, and recent accomplishments is presented. Application of this approach to high-throughput antigen discovery using the genome information is described. The need of a truly global effort and cooperation to defeat malaria is also discussed.
