Africa: Major Malaria Vaccine Less Effective Than Hoped
Washington — Researchers unveiling critical trial results of a potentially major anti-malaria vaccine are expressing disappointment that the drug's efficacy levels have proved lower than they had anticipated.
Following on decades of research, the third phase of testing on a vaccine known as RTS,S found that the drug reduced malaria rates among infants (age six to 12 weeks) by about a third, far lower than expected.
....
The study, funded largely by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is part of the largest malaria trial ever conducted, taking place in seven African countries. Results were published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine, a U.S. publication.
Today's global malaria burden falls most dramatically on Africa, where there are thought to be some 175 million cases of the disease. Ever year, around 655,000 people die of malaria, most of them children in sub-Saharan Africa.
Beyond health and wellbeing, such high numbers inevitably have a massive impact on the prospects for both individual and national economic development.
