Topic Reading-Vol.493-8/17/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Malaria vaccine shows early promise in clinical trials.
How much do you know about Malaria, a fatal mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals that is transmitted via a bite from an infected female mosquito. According to the World Health Organization, or W.H.O., there were an estimated 219 million cases of the disease in 2010 and an estimated 660,000 deaths by the disease.
Although it has been known that a good immunity could be built up with substantial level of infected mosquito bites like over 1,000 times over time, the method doesn’t seem to be practical to apply to many.
Enjoy reading and learning about how researchers have come up with a potential and practical vaccine development against this fatal disease.
