Mosquito bite controls compared to n = 18 PfSPZ participants combined; Title Loaded From File Figure 4A). On initial examination, estimated PMRs appeared higher following PfSPZ Title Loaded From File Challenge than for control subjects infected by mosquito bite (mean 1665 fold parasite increase per 48 hours for PfSPZ Challenge; mean 1064.7 fold parasite increase per 48 hours for mosquito-bite; Figure 5 Figure S2). We have however recently found a negative relationship H decreasing inflammatorycytokines has been reported [13]. In our study, by using between LBI and PMR in Title Loaded From File mosquito-bite CHMI subjects, the reason for which remains unclear. [30] The distribution of estimated PMRs observed in participants infected using PfSPZ Challenge appears similar to that observed among subjects with low LBIs from previous mosquito-bite CHMI trials (principally subjects who had been immunised with the liver-stage antigen TRAP, which is unlikely to affect PMR; Figure 5). It thus seems likely that asexual parasite growth after PfSPZ Challenge administration follows similar kinetics to that after mosquito-bite challenge delivery of a similar LBI.Statistical AnalysisThe study was designed to assess proof of concept rather than to look for statistically significant associations and the sample size was accordingly kept to the minimum. As is appropriate in an underpowered study, statistical analyses are primarily descriptive in nature and significance tests used sparingly and interpreted with caution. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism version 5.03 for Windows (GraphPad Software Inc., USA). Differences between groups in time to malaria diagnosis were compared using a log-rank test and described using the Kaplan Meier method. qPCR results were compared using non-parametric tests.PfSPZ Challenge ReactogenicityAll AEs following injection of PfSPZ Challenge were mild and short lived (Figure S1 and Table S8). No serious AEs occurred. One participant who received 25,000 sporozoites IM described gum bleeding on teeth-brushing starting the evening following injection of PfSPZ Challenge. Full blood count and clotting assays were normal and there was no visible pathology on examination. This AE resolved within 2 days and did not recur. No laboratory AEs related to PfSPZ Challenge injection were noted.Results Study Participants and InterventionRecruitment took place between September and November ?2011. Eighteen healthy malaria-naive adult participants (8 female and 10 male) underwent CHMI in November 2011 (Figure 1). The mean age of participants was 24.2 years (range 18?7) (Table S4).Optimising CHMI Using Needle SyringeFigure 2. PfSPZ Challenge Infectivity Data.
