Can industry be wooed back into the act?

Article Abstract:

The pharmaceutical industry is unlikely to commit more funding to malaria research until there is sufficient economic development in continents such as Africa and Asia. Most drugs companies have stopped supporting vaccine and drug development programmes because they are expensive and unlikely to yield high profits. However, experts at scientific institutes such as the World Health Organisation are striving to attract help from industry.
