Glaxo’s RTS,S Malaria Vaccine Shows Promise, Scientists Say - NYTimes.com: "A few years ago the World Health Organization estimated that malaria killed one million people a year, and in 2008 it said that mosquito nets, DDT and newer artemisinin-based drugs paid for by donor nations were making a dent. But the estimates are controversial and change when new statistical methods are applied. Also, malaria can bounce back frighteningly fast as soon as control measures are relaxed or even in hotter, wetter weather.
It is far harder to make a vaccine against parasites like malaria than to make one against a virus."
