Competing Interests

Four of the authors (EJR, AWT, BWF and CHMK) are in the process of obtaining a patent for three synthetic Diversity-Covering (DiCo) PfAMA1 proteins. The authors wish to thank GlaxoSmithKline, Rixensart, Belgium, for supplying AS02 and SEPPIC, Paris, France, for supplying Montanide ISA 720. This does not alter their adherence to all the PLoS policies on sharing data and materials.
