Closer to a Malaria Vaccine?

Beth Dickinson flags an upcoming big development in the anti-malaria campaign:

Sanaria, Inc. and the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative announced this morning that their potential vaccine for malaria ready to start human trials as early as this May.

An effective vaccine would, as Beth says, “do wonders.” We’re still a long way off from comprehensive malaria vaccination across Africa, though. So for now, do the best thing we can to prevent infection (and help Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have lunch eat bison burgers with Ted Turner): send a net, save a life.
