Summary Malaria remains a major threat to public health worldwide, despite intense research efforts spanning decades. Much of this work has been directed towards developing an effective malaria vaccine, and scientists from Australasia have made significant contributions to progress in this area. Herein, we review the research undertaken in Australasia and summarize some of the important roles that Australasian researchers have played in malaria vaccine development that has occurred outside the region.
