6. Females of childbearing potential must be willing to use reliable contraception (as defined below) from 21 days prior to Study Day 1 to 3 months after the last vaccination.
* Reliable methods of birth control include one of the following: confirmed pharmacologic contraceptives (parenteral) delivery; intrauterine or implantable device.
* Reliable methods of birth control include concurrent use of a pharmacologic and a barrier method, i.e., two of the following: confirmed pharmacological contraceptives (oral, transdermal) delivery or vaginal ring AND condoms with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide.
Non-childbearing women will also be required to report date of last menstrual period, history of surgical sterility (i.e., tubal ligation, hysterectomy) or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and will have urine or serum pregnancy test performed per protocol.

3. In good general health and without clinically significant medical history
4. Willing to have blood samples stored for future research
5. Available for the duration of the study
6. Participated in the main phase of this protocol (Arms 2,3) AND received all three vaccinations OR suitable to serve as a matched control for such an individual.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA PILOT and MAIN STUDY:

19. Receipt of a live vaccine within the past 4 weeks or a killed vaccine within the past 2 weeks prior to Vaccination #1 and every subsequent vaccination day
20. Receipt of immunoglobulins and/or blood products within the past 6 months
21. Previous receipt of an investigational malaria vaccine in the last 5 years
22. Known allergies or contraindication against: ASAQ or Coartem
23. Other condition(s) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety or rights of a participant participating in the trial, interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives, or would render the subject unable to comply with the protocol.
