摘要

The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising as an immunogen a long synthetic or recombinant peptide of a merozoite surface protein 3b (MSP-3b) peptide, an MSP-3c peptide and a MSP-3d peptide. Vaccines against malaria are also disclosed using these peptides alone or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
