Malaria remains a major infectious disease, with Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax often co-endemic, requiring a dual-target vaccine for adequate control. We previously developed monovalent vaccines against P. falciparum or P. vivax using vaccinia virus LC16m8Δ (m8Δ) and adeno-associated virus type 1 (AAV1). Here, we demonstrate the efficacy of a novel bivalent malaria vaccine against P. falciparum and P. vivax. The m8Δ vaccine harbors two gene cassettes encoding Pfs25-PfCSP and Pvs25-PvCSP fusion proteins, while the AAV1 vaccine includes two recombinant AAV1s carrying one of these cassettes as a mixture. Heterologous m8Δ-prime and AAV1-boost immunization provided 70% protection against both PfCSP/Pb and PvCSP/Pb transgenic sporozoites. Moreover, a membrane feeding assay using P. vivax isolates from infected patients in the Brazilian Amazon showed 90% transmission-blocking efficacy. The bivalent vaccine outperformed monovalent combinations, maintaining immune responses for over 7 months, and shows promise for malaria control and elimination.
疟疾仍然是一种主要的传染病,恶性疟原虫和间日疟原虫常常共同流行,因此需要一种双靶点疫苗来实现充分防控。我们之前利用痘苗病毒LC16m8Δ(m8Δ)和1型腺相关病毒(AAV1)开发了针对恶性疟原虫或间日疟原虫的单价疫苗。在此,我们展示了一种新型双价疟疾疫苗针对恶性疟原虫和间日疟原虫的有效性。m8Δ疫苗含有两个编码Pfs25-PfCSP和Pvs25-PvCSP融合蛋白的基因盒,而AAV1疫苗则包含两种携带其中一个基因盒的重组AAV1作为混合物。异源m8Δ初免和AAV1加强免疫对PfCSP/Pb和PvCSP/Pb转基因子孢子均提供了70%的保护。此外,使用来自巴西亚马逊地区感染患者的间日疟原虫分离株进行的膜饲试验显示出90%的传播阻断效力。该双价疫苗优于单价组合疫苗,能将免疫反应维持7个月以上,有望用于疟疾的防控和消除。
