Genetic Variation May Elude Malaria Vaccine?

New research into the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum indicates that making an effective malaria vaccine may be even more difficult than scientists had thought. Three studies published online in Nature Genetics (10 December) reveal that there are many more variations in the malaria genome than were previously recognised. One paper, funded in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), reports that the study has revealed nearly 47,000 genetic variations in the parasite's genome.
