21 The downside Such vaccines hold great hope for containing the spread of the disease

22 The downside Such vaccines hold great hope for containing the spread of the disease However, they are likely to have poor efficacy, at least initially

23 The downside Such vaccines hold great hope for containing the spread of the disease However, they are likely to have poor efficacy, at least initially This may result in a net increase in infections.

24 Candidate vaccines Such vaccines permit infection but reduce parasite burden

25 Candidate vaccines Such vaccines permit infection but reduce parasite burden We call these disease-modifying vaccines.

26 Disease-modifying vaccines Disease-modifying vaccines may:

27 Disease-modifying vaccines Disease-modifying vaccines may: allow you to become infected

28 Disease-modifying vaccines Disease-modifying vaccines may: allow you to become infected reduce your duration of infection

29 Disease-modifying vaccines Disease-modifying vaccines may: allow you to become infected reduce your duration of infection lower your parasite burden.

30 Potential effects Potential effects from a malaria vaccine could include:

31 Potential effects Potential effects from a malaria vaccine could include: i. increasing the recovery rate

32 Potential effects Potential effects from a malaria vaccine could include: i. increasing the recovery rate ii. increasing the acquired immunity rate

33 Potential effects Potential effects from a malaria vaccine could include: i. increasing the recovery rate ii. increasing the acquired immunity rate iii. reducing the rate of infection.

34 Limitations Potential limitations of a vaccination program could include:

35 Limitations Potential limitations of a vaccination program could include: i. the vaccine may only be delivered to a proportion p of the population

36 Limitations Potential limitations of a vaccination program could include: i. the vaccine may only be delivered to a proportion p of the population ii. the vaccine may on take in a proportion ε of people vaccinated

37 Limitations Potential limitations of a vaccination program could include: i. the vaccine may only be delivered to a proportion p of the population ii. the vaccine may on take in a proportion ε of people vaccinated iii. the vaccine may wane at rate ω

38 Limitations Potential limitations of a vaccination program could include: i. the vaccine may only be delivered to a proportion p of the population ii. the vaccine may on take in a proportion ε of people vaccinated iii. the vaccine may wane at rate ω iv. the vaccine may have suboptimal efficacy ψ.

39 Efficacy A disease-modifying vaccine with 35% efficacy would:

40 Efficacy A disease-modifying vaccine with 35% efficacy would: stop infection 35% of the time

41 Efficacy A disease-modifying vaccine with 35% efficacy would: stop infection 35% of the time permit infection the remaining 65% of the time

42 Efficacy A disease-modifying vaccine with 35% efficacy would: stop infection 35% of the time permit infection the remaining 65% of the time lower your parasite burden once you became infected

43 Efficacy A disease-modifying vaccine with 35% efficacy would: stop infection 35% of the time permit infection the remaining 65% of the time lower your parasite burden once you became infected (so you re less likely to transmit the disease).

44 Four groups For any vaccine, there are four groups:

91 First, do no harm Disease-modifying vaccines run the risk of increasing the number of secondary infections

92 First, do no harm Disease-modifying vaccines run the risk of increasing the number of secondary infections This may happen due to increasing the average duration of infection

93 First, do no harm Disease-modifying vaccines run the risk of increasing the number of secondary infections This may happen due to increasing the average duration of infection This may occur if many more people survive to become infected later.

101 relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

102 Decreasing rate and duration If the rate and duration of infection both decrease, the number of secondary infections will always decrease relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

103 Decreasing rate and duration If the rate and duration of infection both decrease, the number of secondary infections will always decrease relative rate of infection rate and duration both decrease vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

104 Decreasing rate and duration If the rate and duration of infection both decrease, the number of secondary infections will always decrease (Not terribly surprising.) relative rate of infection rate and duration both decrease vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

105 A duration shoulder For a given vaccine efficacy, there is a duration shoulder relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

106 A duration shoulder For a given vaccine efficacy, there is a duration shoulder relative rate of infection duration shoulder 50 vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

107 A duration shoulder For a given vaccine efficacy, there is a duration shoulder A small increase in the duration of infection will still decrease the number of secondary infections relative rate of infection duration shoulder 50 vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

108 A duration shoulder For a given vaccine efficacy, there is a duration shoulder A small increase in the duration of infection will still decrease the number of secondary infections This is true even if the rate of infection is unchanged. relative rate of infection duration shoulder 50 vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

109 Beyond the shoulder If the duration of infection is significantly increased, then it is crucial that the rate of infection be decreased accordingly relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

110 Beyond the shoulder If the duration of infection is significantly increased, then it is crucial that the rate of infection be decreased accordingly relative rate of infection beyond the shoulder 50 vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

111 Beyond the shoulder If the duration of infection is significantly increased, then it is crucial that the rate of infection be decreased accordingly Thus is crucial for low-efficacy vaccines. relative rate of infection beyond the shoulder 50 vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

112 An example A 20% efficacious vaccine could accomodate an increase in the duration of infection by as much as 1.56 times thhe current duration of infection relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

113 An example A 20% efficacious vaccine could accomodate an increase in the duration of infection by as much as 1.56 times thhe current duration of infection Even if there is no 1 reduction in the rate of infection, the net result will still be a 60 decrease in secondary infections relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) 1 2 Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

114 Reducing the infection rate However, a 20% efficacious vaccine that increased the duration of infection by a factor of 4 would lead to an increase in secondary infections... relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

115 Reducing the infection rate However, a 20% efficacious vaccine that increased the duration of infection by a factor of 4 would lead to an increase in secondary infections......unless the rate of infection for the vaccinated population were reduced to 40% of the current rate of infection. relative rate of infection vaccine efficacy (%) Increase in secondary infections Decrease in secondary infections relative duration of infection 3 4

116 Conclusions An imperfect malaria vaccine can eradicate the disease, if the coverage levels are sufficiently high

117 Conclusions An imperfect malaria vaccine can eradicate the disease, if the coverage levels are sufficiently high Duration of infection decreases secondary infections always decrease

118 Conclusions An imperfect malaria vaccine can eradicate the disease, if the coverage levels are sufficiently high Duration of infection decreases secondary infections always decrease Small increases in the duration of infection can be tolerated, but larger increases must be accompanied by a reduction in the rate of infection

119 Conclusions An imperfect malaria vaccine can eradicate the disease, if the coverage levels are sufficiently high Duration of infection decreases secondary infections always decrease Small increases in the duration of infection can be tolerated, but larger increases must be accompanied by a reduction in the rate of infection This is critical for low-efficacy vaccines.

120 A further consequence These results primarily apply to areas where malaria is endemic

121 A further consequence These results primarily apply to areas where malaria is endemic A disease-modifying malaria vaccine with a high duration of infection...

122 A further consequence These results primarily apply to areas where malaria is endemic A disease-modifying malaria vaccine with a high duration of infection... (for example, one which reduced mortality, but had no effect on the recovery rates)

123 A further consequence These results primarily apply to areas where malaria is endemic A disease-modifying malaria vaccine with a high duration of infection... (for example, one which reduced mortality, but had no effect on the recovery rates)...might be quite desirable for the developed world, if the prospect of reinfection is negligible.

124 Recommendation Low-efficacy vaccines that result in high durations of infection must significantly lower the rate of infection if they are to be used in endemic areas.
