Competing Interests
We have the following interests. Adrian V.S. Hill is a named inventor on patent applications and patents on malaria vectored vaccines and immunisation regimes including the following (WO2008/122769, Adenoviral vector encoding malaria antigen; and WO 2008/122811 Novel adenovirus vectors). Egeruan Imoukhuede and Ines Petersen were employees of EVI at the time of the study, which supports the development and testing of malaria vaccines. Nicola Viebig is an employee of EVI and Odile Leroy is executive director of EVI. Authors from ReiThera (formerly Okairos) are employees of and/or shareholders in ReiThera, which is developing vectored vaccines for malaria and other diseases. Alfredo Nicosia was employed by ReiThera (formerly Okairos) at the time of the study. There are no further patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. This does not alter our adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, as detailed online in the guide for authors.
