Commentary in reply to a publication on Plasmodium falciparum pre-erythrocytic stage vaccine development

Abstract

Abstract We have read the publication of Molina-Franky and colleagues on Plasmodium falciparum pre-erythrocytic stage vaccine development (Malaria Journal, 2020;19:56). The commentary revises some of their statements on the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine that are considered either imprecise or incorrect.
