Abstract
Disclosed is a peptide antigen comprising an amino acid sequence of a non-repetitive epitope of the circumsporozoite protein of a sporozoite of the genus plasmodium said peptide having the property of eliciting formation of antibodies that bind to said nonrepetitive epitope on the sporozoite surface said peptide being synthetic, purified and substantially shorter in length than said protein.
