Several blood-stage antigens of the malaria parasite with different structure and location have been evaluated for their role in inducing protective antibodies against clinical malaria, including the merozoite surface proteins (MSP-1, MSP-2, MSP-3, etc.), the apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA-1), erythrocytes binding antigen (EBA-175 RII) and the glutamate-rich protein (GLURP) [15–20]. This evidence concerns the gene ATAD1 and malaria.
