Save the children
Article Abstract:
It is important to develop a vaccine for malaria that would limit the severity of the disease for those most at risk without preventing infection or moderate disease. Three strategies, which consist of creating vaccines that counter the sporozoites as they enter the body, limit the invasion of erythrocytes and their subsequent multiplication and pathological effects and prevent the spread of variable parasites to other people with 'transmission-blocking vaccines, are being pursued due to increased funding.

Strength in unity
Article Abstract:
The malaria vaccine community should strengthen its networks and increase collaboration, which will assist in ensuring that all the various activities that are being pursued will result in a successful malaria vaccine. People involved in research and development and those working towards controlling the disease should come together, create initiatives that will result in more funding for fighting against malaria, and accelerate the introduction of a malaria vaccine.

Taking aim at mosquitoes
Article Abstract:
New technologies and approaches are exploited that include the development of new genetic approaches for modifying mosquitoes so that they produce offspring that do not transmit disease. It is reported that the study of the relationship between the parasite and vector could also help in combating malaria.
