You are watching Malaria Vaccine Season 5 Episode 8

There has never been a vaccine developed against a complex multi-stage parasite. The organism that causes malaria is one such parasite. Advances in biotechnology however, such as new cell culture techniques, DNA modification, and the mapping of the malaria genome, all make a vaccine more feasible now than ever. Kill or Cure looks at the progress being made in this regard in Tanzania and the USA.
