Malaria vaccine one step closer

>Current approaches to tackle mosquitoes that spread malaria such as long lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) have contributed greatly to the recent success in malaria control.

>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.

Scientists say the world's first malaria vaccine provides children with continuing protection against the disease and may be in use by 2015.

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.

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

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.

Final clinical trials of a malaria vaccine - the first to reach this stage - suggest it could protect one third of children against malaria, according to data published in The Lancet.
