Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnancy, lactation or intention to become pregnant during the trial

- Previous participation in a malaria vaccine trial

- HIV infection

- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state, asplenia,
recurrent, severe infections and chronic (more than 14 days) immunosuppressant
medication within the past 6 months (inhaled and topical steroids are allowed)

- Presence of autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment (e.g. rheumatic diseases)

- Use of immunoglobulins or blood products within 3 months prior to enrolment

- Receipt of an investigational product in the 30 days preceding enrolment, or planned
receipt during the trial period

situ)

- History of serious psychiatric condition that may affect participation in the trial

- Any other serious chronic illness requiring hospital specialist supervision

- Suspected or known current alcohol abuse as defined by an alcohol intake of greater
than 60 g (men) or 40 g (women) per day or a carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT)
level =2.5%

- Any clinically significant abnormal finding on biochemistry or hematology blood tests,
urine analysis or clinical examination
