GFA World Calls Attention To The Other Vaccine Shot That The World Is Waiting For

Coinciding with the World Malaria Day on April 25th, GFA World announced that a new malaria vaccine which could save millions of lives is on its way.

According to the press release of humanitarian agency GFA World (formerly Gospel for Asia), human trials of a new malaria vaccine is ongoing, and the results are promising.

“Malaria is one of the most rampant child-killers in the world today,” said K.P. Yohannan, founder of Texas-based GFA World “For countless millions across Africa, Asia and other parts of the world, an effective vaccine against malaria would be like a dream.”

Potential Malaria Vaccine Shot from Mosquito Spit

According to an October 2020 article from Legion Magazine, a clinical researcher for the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has developed a vaccine based on mosquito spit.

Sharon Adams, writing for Legion, wrote that during tests on animals, this mosquito saliva-based vaccine turned out to be effective not just for malaria prevention, but also in impairing the development of Zika virus and sandfly-borne leishmaniasis.

The first human trial was in 2017 where 49 volunteers had reportedly experienced minor side effects. The next stage is to test this potential vaccine to a larger group. Once proven successful, this will signal the first vaccine to prevent infection from mosquito-borne diseases.
