"Kill or Cure?" goes
in search of the very latest ways to fight the
disease. Malaria is still the most deadly disease in
the world. - it kills a child every thirty seconds.
As yet no vaccine exists. But the race is on to find
one and several companies are getting close. This
episode of "Kill or Cure?" looks at two different
approaches. First we travel to Bagamoyo in Tanzania,
where they are hoping to produce one of the most
advanced vaccines in the world and, so far, trials
of the drug have gone well. But they have rivals -
the Sanaria team based at Rockville in Maryland.
There, scientists are using some of the most deadly
mosquitoes in the world to find an effective
vaccine.
