Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Successful Infection of Vector Mosquitoes Following Both Direct and Indirect Feeding on the Blood of Infected Participants
7-10 days after blood feeding

Seven to ten days after blood feeding, mosquitoes will be dissected to check for oocysts in midgut preparations. For permanent preparations, oocysts will be stained with 0.1% mercurochrome in PBS for 5 to 60 mins then fixed in 1%glutaraldehyde or formaldehyde. Oocysts will be counted per mosquito dissected and recorded. Relationship between parasitemia, gametocytemia and mosquito infection (both oocyst prevalence and intensity) will be determined using generalized-linear mixed models. The number of mosquitoes dying prior to dissection will be recorded.

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Piperaquine Phosphate after infected blood malaria challengeEXPERIMENTALVolunteers will receive a dose of 480 mg piperaquine phosphate (PQP) approx. 7 days after a challenge with P. falciparum infected red blood cells. The effects of PQP on gametocyte carriage (assessed by PCR) and infectivity to mosquitos after direct and indirect feeding on blood from volunteers will be assessed.

Interventions

Administration of the malaria inoculumBIOLOGICALEach participant in the cohort will be inoculated on Day 0 with \~2,800 viable parasites of Plasmodium falciparum-infected human erythrocytes (BSPC) administered intravenously. The threshold for commencement of treatment will be when PCR quantification of all participants is ≥ 5,000 parasites/mL.
