Introduction: Next-generation malaria vaccines are urgently needed to provide greater efficacy and longevity. Antibodies targeting blood-stage merozoites can confer protection against clinical malaria through multiple Fmediated functions. In particular, merozoite surface protein 2 (PfMSP2) is a known target of protective antibodies that can clear merozoites via multiple antibody Fc-mediated functions, making it a highly promising vaccine candidate.
