Abstract
A first embodiment is a specific plasmid vector, pDIP/PyCSP.1, into which nucleotides encoding the targets of specific immune responses are inserted. These targets include, but are not limited to proteins and peptides. These plasmid constructs are incorporated in a composition comprising a suitable and acceptable art recognized pharmaceutical reagent that is benign (non-reactive with) to the plasmid construct. The plasmid construct provides protective immune responses to the disease associated with the selected targets. A second embodiment is a construct having, at a minimum, the nucleotide sequences encoding one or more Plasmodium species proteins in a pharmaceutically acceptable vector. a third embodiment is a method of controlling malaria in mammals comprising injecting a polynucleotide delivery vector into a mammal.
