It’s hoped that the vaccine, designed to be suitable for use during pregnancy, will generate highly protective and long-lasting immunity. If successful, the new trial could lead to a major breakthrough in tackling the Zika virus. #ZikaVirus #Zika

Even in high-resistance areas, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) still protects babies from malaria in pregnancy - cutting low birth weight risk by up to 45%, with no harm. SP remains WHO’s go-to in Africa, but new tools are urgently needed. lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/... #Malaria #MalariaPrevention
