A total of 15 samples of P. vivax infected donors were used to infect different batches of mosquitoes.', 'detailedDescription': "Study design:\n\nThe study was a randomized open label clinical trial to establish a sporozoite challenge model for Plasmodium vivax in humans. The development and standardization of such a model will make it possible to evaluate the efficacy of candidate P. vivax vaccines in Phase 2a trials. The study is divided into two successive steps:\n\nStep A Parasite Blood Donation: Volunteers were recruited passively from a group of patients who presented with active P. vivax infection and accepted to donate infected blood. Samples of P. vivax infected blood was collected and was screened for infectious diseases, according to standard blood bank procedures. Colonized Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes were fed with this blood using a Membrane Feeding Assay (MFA). Sixteen (16) days after, selected positive mosquito batches were used for step B.\n\nStep B Challenge: After informed consent signature, a total of 18 healthy volunteers were randomly allocated to Groups 1, 2 and 3, of 6 volunteers each and were challenged with the bite of 3±1, 6±1 or 9±1 P. vivax infected mosquitoes. Volunteers were closely monitored post infection, and were treated as soon as blood infection becomes patent as ascertained by microscopic examination of thick blood smears (TBS). Comparison of three bite patterns was used to select the optimal number of P. vivax-infected mosquito bites needed to provide reliable and reproducible blood infection.\n\nInfection was expected to occur in the first 30 days. After that time, if infection was not documented, antimalarial treatment was planned. Nevertheless all exposed volunteers presented malarial infection. Despite infection was expected before day 30, a 18 month follow-up was performed with to be sure no delay malaria infection presented without detection. So, the total duration of the study was 18 months.\n\nInfection was determined by the detection of P. vivax parasites on TBS from volunteers included.\n\nEligibility criteria for Blood donors Step A were:\n\n* Adult, male or female (18-60 years of age).\n* Capacity to freely understand and sign an informed consent form of participation.\n* TBS Positive for P.vivax but negative for all other malaria species.\n* P.vivax gametocytemia \\> 0.2%.\n\nExclusion criteria\n\n* Unable to provide free and willing written informed consent.\n* Have or have had any illness or condition which, in the investigator's judgment, may substantially increase the risk associated with the blood donation.\n\nEligibility and exclusion criteria for Challenge is described below in this format.\n\nClose monitoring of adverse events was performed, both by medical examination as by telephone contact."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Healthy male or non-pregnant female adults (18- 50 years of age).\n* Use of adequate contraceptive method from the initiation of the study until two months after sporozoite challenge for females.\n* No plans to travel to a malaria endemic area during the course of the study and agree to not travel outside the study area from Day 7 to Day 23 post-challenge (the high risk period for becoming parasitemic).\n* Reachable by phone during the entire study period\n* Duffy positive phenotype\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Are \\<18 or \\>49 years of age.\n* Any female who is pregnant at serum positive B-HCG screening or who is nursing.\n* Duffy negative phenotype.\n* G-6-PD deficiency or any other hemoglobinopathy.\n* Current or past infection with any species of malaria\n* History of allergy to antimalarial drugs or immediate type hypersensitivity reactions to mosquito bites.\n* Clinical or laboratory evidence of significant systemic disease, including hepatic, renal, cardiac, immunologic or hematological disease.
