Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.

Vaccine :: GenVec's Malaria Vaccine produces immune response in clinical trial participants
Pharmaceutical company GenVec's malaria vaccine candidate is well-tolerated and induces an immune response, according to results from a Phase I/II clinical trial presented by the company at the Malaria Vaccines for the World Conference at the Royal Society of Medicine in London.The clinical trials were sponsored by the National Naval Medical Center and the U.S. Military Malaria Vaccine Program. GenVec said it next plans to assess the safety of the vaccine at a higher dose and then evaluate its efficacy.
PATH, GenVec Vaccine Project
Preclinical trial data involving a separate vaccine candidate from GenVec and the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative also were presented at the conference. The data from the vaccine, which includes five antigens from blood and liver stages of the parasite, showed an immune response in animals. "The results from these studies are encouraging and support the use of our adenovector technologies in developing effective malaria vaccines," Joseph Bruder, GenVec's director of vector and vaccine programs, said.
