Abstract: An immunogenic composition comprising: a) one or more Plasmodium-derived ribosomal or ribosomal associated protein or immunogenic fragment thereof which has a sequence which is at least about 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99% or 100% identical to a ribosomal or ribosomal associated protein or an immunogenic fragment of a ribosomal or ribosomal associated protein recited in FIG. 1; or a ribosomal or ribosomal associated protein or peptide or immunogenic fragment thereof as recited in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3; and/or b) a polynucleotide encoding one or more protein, peptide or immunogenic fragment of a); wherein the immunogenic composition is for use in eliciting an immune response in a subject to treat or prevent malaria. Also provided are Plasmodium-derived ETRAMPs and/or histones, or immunogenic fragments thereof, for use in eliciting an immune response in a subject, preferably to treat or prevent malaria.
