A Nanoparticle Comprising the Receptor-Binding Domains of Norovirus and <i>Plasmodium</i> as a Combination Vaccine Candidate by Ming Xia, Pengwei Huang, Frank S. Vago, Wen Jiang, Xi Jiang, Ming Tan

“…Background: Noroviruses, which cause epidemic acute gastroenteritis, and <i>Plasmodium</i> parasites, which lead to malaria, are two infectious pathogens that pose threats to public health. The protruding (P) domain of norovirus VP1 and the αTSR domain of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of <i>Plasmodium</i> sporozoite are the glycan receptor-binding domains of the two pathogens for host cell attachment, making them excellent targets for vaccine development. …”
