Researchers at National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center are recruiting healthy adults, ages 18-50, to undergo an initial assessment to determine if they will qualify for future malaria studies. These future studies may involve evaluation of experimental medications, vaccines, and vaccine strategies to prevent malaria.

We are looking for people recently diagnosed with Lyme disease to help us answer important questions about the infection. If you have or had the rash associated with acute Lyme disease (erythema migrans), facial palsy, meningitis, heart block, or arthritis; please consider participating in our study.
