Study Arms:
- Group 1 (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Group 1 subjects (n=15) will receive 4 doses of PfSPZ Vaccine (4.5 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose) every 2 days, followed by a single, boosting dose (same dose as before) given 16 weeks later, for a total PfSPZ dose = 22.5 x 10\^5. PfSPZ Vaccine administered by DVI.~Protective efficacy assessed by heterologous CHMI (7G8) Pf parasites at 28 and 40 weeks after the first immunization, along with 8 infectivity controls. Subjects may proceed to CHMI if they have received at least 2 of 4 priming immunizations and the boost scheduled for Group 1. Participants not protected after the first CHMI will be invited to receive a booster vaccination (4.5 x 10\^5 PfSPZ) 21 days prior to the second CHMI. Subjects may participate in the second CHMI whether or not they were protected in the 1st CHMI, to serve as controls for the effect of the 1st CHMI on immunity.~Subjects will be followed for 56 days beyond the final CHMI (post-immunization week 40).
- Group 2 (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Subjects (n=15) will receive 3 doses of PfSPZ Vaccine (9.0 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose) every 8 weeks, total PfSPZ dose = 27 x 10\^5. PfSPZ Vaccine administered by DVI.~Protective efficacy assessed by heterologous CHMI (7G8) Pf parasites at 28 and 40 weeks after first immunization, along with 8 infectivity controls. Subjects may proceed to CHMI if they have received at least 2 of 3 immunizations scheduled for Group 2. Participants not protected after the first CHMI will be invited to receive a booster vaccination (9.0 x 10\^5 PfSPZ) 21 days prior to the second CHMI. Subjects may participate in the second CHMI whether or not they were protected in the 1st CHMI, to serve as controls for the effect of the 1st CHMI on immunity.~Subjects will be followed for 56 days beyond the final CHMI (post-immunization week 40).
- Group 3 (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Group 3 subjects (n=15) will receive 3 doses of PfSPZ Vaccine (18 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose) every 8 weeks for a total PfSPZ dose of 54 x 10\^5. PfSPZ Vaccine administered by DVI.~Protective efficacy assessed by CHMI with heterologous (7G8, NF135.C10) Pf parasites at 40 and 66 weeks after the first immunization, along with 8 infectivity controls. Subjects may proceed to CHMI if they have received at least 2 of 3 immunizations scheduled for Group 3. All participants will be invited to receive a booster vaccination (18 x 10\^5 PfSPZ) 21 days prior to the second CHMI. Subjects may participate in the second CHMI whether or not they were protected in the 1st CHMI, to serve as controls for the effect of the 1st CHMI on immunity.~Subjects will be followed for 56 days beyond the final CHMI (post-immunization week66).
- Group 4 (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Subjects (n=15) will receive a single, priming dose of PfSPZ Vaccine (27 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose), followed by 2 additional immunizations (9.0 x 10\^5 PfSPZ per dose) every 8 weeks, total PfSPZ dose = 45 x 10\^5. PfSPZ Vaccine administered by DVI.~Protective efficacy assessed by CHMI with heterologous 7G8 and NF135.C10 Pf parasites at 40 and 66 weeks, respectively, along with 8 infectivity controls at each CHMI. Subjects may proceed to CHMI if they have received at least 2 of 3 immunizations scheduled for Group 4. All participants will be invited to receive a booster vaccination (9.0x10\^5 PfSPZ) 21 days prior to the second CHMI.~Subjects will be followed for 56 days beyond the final CHMI at (post-immunization week 66).
- Infectivity Controls, CHMI (7G8) (Type: OTHER): Infectivity controls (n=24) will not receive any PfSPZ Vaccine. They will serve as infectivity controls for CHMI for all groups. 8 infectivity controls will undergo CHMI with each of two CHMIs (at 28 and 40) for Groups 1 and 2, and 8 infectivity controls will undergo CHMI with the 40 week CHMI for Groups 3 and 4. All CHMI will be conducted by exposure to the bites of 5 mosquitoes infected with heterologous (7G8) Pf parasites. Subjects will be followed for 56 days beyond the last CHMI at week 40 at the UMB site.
- Infectivity Controls, CHMI (NF135.C10) (Type: OTHER): Infectivity controls (n=8) will not receive any PfSPZ Vaccine. They will serve as infectivity controls for the second CHMI at week 66 for Groups 3 and 4. CHMI will be conducted by exposure to the bites of 3-5 mosquitoes infected with heterologous (NF135.C10) Pf parasites. Subjects will be followed for 56 days beyond the last CHMI at week 66 at the NMRC site.
