Addressing some of the most persistent global health burdens, parasitic vaccines aim to prevent diseases like malaria, leishmaniasis, and schistosomiasis. Developing immunity against parasites presents complex challenges due to their life cycles and antigenic diversity. Recent breakthroughs, including the approval of malaria vaccines, have revitalized the field. Researchers are exploring recombinant proteins, vector-based approaches, and adjuvant systems to boost efficacy. These vaccines offer hope for regions with limited healthcare access, where parasitic infections impose high mortality and economic strain. Continued investment and innovation in parasitic vaccines are essential to achieving sustainable control and eventual eradication of neglected parasitic diseases.
