>A new malaria vaccine produced by a US company is being tested in volunteers at Tanzanian universities, raising fresh hopes of developing a jab that will eliminate malaria in the next three to five years, according to researchers.

The world's first malaria vaccine has cleared one of the final regulatory hurdles prior to being used to immunise children in sub-Saharan Africa.

The world’s most advanced malaria candidate vaccine offers young children partial protection that wanes with time, but could shield millions against the deadly parasite, its developers said yesterday.

The first ever vaccine for malaria has been approved by the European Medicines Agency, meaning it is close to being introduced for use in Africa.

Trials of a malaria vaccine that targets the most dangerous variety of parasite that causes the disease show some positive early results in adults.
