Malaria : defeating the curse.

Can science finally beat malaria? Every day 3000 people, mostly children, die from the disease which scientists have been fighting for over 100 years. This very informative programme traces the history of the battle against malaria using a mixture of archival footage, testimonies from researchers involved in past and present approaches, and microscopic footage of the malaria parasite. The programme ends with an update on how the latest vaccine is working.
