41% of the world's population 350–500 million cases of malaria reported

worldwide each year

  • ver one million people die

2 deaths per minute in severe areas The 4th cause of death in children in several

developing countries

Binding ability test by IgG from sera samples of malria‐exposured donors

EtNH2 might not be critical

M3 M3E M4 M4E Binding ability test by IgG from sera samples of Non‐malaria exposured donors

Man4‐GPI response is more general among some nonmalarial species Man3‐GPI response is more specific to malaria

Since the Man4‐GPI is more general while the Man3‐GPI more specific to malaria, for a given area…
