Breakthrough malaria vaccine tantalizingly close - CNN.com

My father had malaria twice in the South Pacific during WW2 and also Dengue fever ( also called ' break bone' because of the sound made when bending ... you could hear each vertebra pop ) .... In Viet Nam we had big pink pills we were supposed to take everyday to prevent malaria.... they did not help the digestive system.... so many did not take them....
On some fronts we are actually losing the fight against pathogens....
