Bed Nets and Vaccines: Some Combinations May Worsen Malaria
Description: More than 20 malaria vaccine candidates are in different stages of development, but none are licensed for use. So no one knows for sure what will happen when vaccines and bed nets are used together. A research team used a mathematical model of malaria transmission to find out. The researchers examined potential interactions between the two control measures and found that-in some cases-the combination of bed nets and a vaccine actually makes the problem worse.
