Encouraging results in finding a malaria vaccine have raised new hopes


New York, April 30, 2021, Friday

Although malaria is considered a simple disease, the fact is that malaria kills more people than the corona virus. It is worth noting that the coronavirus vaccine has been discovered but the malaria vaccine has not been found. According to the information received, a test is being conducted on a malaria vaccine in Africa. Although this test is at a very preliminary level, the result is encouraging. The ongoing malaria vaccine test in Burkina Faso has excited everyone.


The results of the test, published in the pre-prints of The Lancet Journal, show that the success rate of the R21 metric M vaccine has been 77 percent over a 12-month period. The World Health Organization considers 75 percent of vaccine success to be at least essential. This is the first time a malaria vaccine has managed to cross the minimum threshold. The trial involved 450 children from 5 to 17 months. The trial participants were divided into three groups. The first group was vaccinated against rabies. The group that was given the least amount of matrix had a success rate of 71% and no serious side effects.


While researchers are now preparing to work on a very large group of vaccines that will include 4800 children from 4 African countries in 5 to 36 months. According to Julian Rainer, director of the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research and a researcher on malaria, the results of the trial are encouraging. This is an initial test but the number of children in it was low. Now the way is open for a trial in another place as well. Malaria is a deadly disease caused by parasites entering the human body through the bite of a female anaphylaxis mosquito. There are five parasites that are capable of causing malaria in humans, two of which are P Felciferum and P Vivax.

According to the World Health Organization, there were 229 million cases of malaria in the world in 2019, of which 94% were in Africa. Children under the age of five account for 67 per cent of malaria deaths worldwide. Although people living in malaria affected areas naturally have immunity to fight parasites, this immunity does not provide complete protection against malaria. There is no guarantee that you will not get malaria. Not only that, malaria symptoms can be certain to be neither dangerous nor fatal. That is why malaria is more dangerous in children because of the immunity that older people have. Does not occur in small.
