Scientists have succeeded in making human volunteers immune to malaria by injecting them with genetic material. The breakthrough brings the prospect of a much-needed vaccine significantly closer. Malaria kills between one and two minion people every year –mostly and mostly in Africa - and makes a further 500 million people ill. The hunt for a vaccine has lasted for more than 20 years. Dr Stephen Hoffman and his team of researchers have taken from the malarial microbe, which can not cause the disease in themselves, into 20 volunteers, following successful tests on animals. The volunteers' immune systems were found to be as good as those of people who have naturally contracted the infection through a mosquito bite and recovered.
