Malaria Vaccine Proves Effective in Clinical Trial

Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Malaria Vaccine Proves Effective in Clinical Trial:
"A new vaccine stimulated human immune cells to recognize and kill malaria parasites in a recent clinical trial. The vaccine proved effective in both infected human blood samples and mice whose immune systems had been modified to mimic that of humans."
Good news for the Philippines and other tropical countries, hope this pans out.

Interesting. This month, the vaccine will be tested on humans. Cross our fingers.
