Abstract : A constant need to identify novel vaccine candidate as well as their characterization to explore their vaccine potential is the need of the hour. Erythrocyte binding antigen family, and the Rh protein family until now are the most promising candidates for development of blood stage vaccines. An important class of proteins performing crucial functions in the parasite and having blood stage vaccine potential are the thrombospondin structural repeat (TSR) containing proteins (5). Identifying the proteins involved in the invasion of red blood cell by the malaria parasite is commonly used to identify novel blood stage vaccine candidates. In addition the approach to combine numerous antigens together to develop an effective vaccine has also been a successful strategy where the parasite is targeted at more than one pathways (6).
