Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of a non-replicating, metabolically active Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite (PfSPZ) vaccine in malaria-naïve healthy volunteers following multiple-dose subcutaneous (SC) or intradermal (ID) administration. In addition, the investigators wish to evaluate PfSPZ vaccine-mediated protection against P. falciparum challenge in the following 4 groups (see below) and compare protective efficacy of the PfSPZ vaccine when given by SC v ID administration in all these groups: * Group 1: 4 doses of 7,500 PfSPZ/immunization, * Group 2: 4 doses of 30,000 PfSPZ/immunization, * Group 3: 4 doses of 135,000 PfSPZ/immunization * Group 4: 4 or 6 doses of 135,000 PfSPZ/immunization. If \> 80% protective efficacy is not achieved in Groups 1, 2, or 3, volunteers in Group 4 will receive a fifth and sixth dose.
