Wissenschaftler entwickelten einen neuen mRNA-Impfstoff-basierend auf ähnlichen Technologien, die für einige CoVID-19-Impfstoffe eingesetzt wurden, um den Malaria-Parasitendüngungsprozess zu blockieren. Das Ergebnis: Ein Rückgang der Übertragungsrate des Malaria-Verursachung in präklinischen Studien.

    1. I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

      https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ady0241

      From the linked article:

      A novel way to prevent the spread of malaria – a potentially life-threatening disease transmitted through bites from mosquitoes infected by a parasite – could soon be realized, thanks to scientists at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in Australia.

      While vaccines for malaria exist and more are being formulated for greater efficacy, the WEHI team went right to the source. It first visualized the protein complex that facilitates the reproduction of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite inside mosquitoes. Then, the **scientists developed a mRNA vaccine – based on similar technology used for some COVID-19 vaccines – to block the fertilization process. The result: a 99.7% drop in the rate of transmission of the malaria-causing parasite recorded in preclinical studies.**

      Am I being too demanding if I say „please do west nile now“ if I remember to say thank you first?

      These researchers blow my mind. They have accomplished so much that we were told (in the 1900s) wouldn’t be possible until the 2100s.

    3. And JFK jr just removed 500m USD funding for mRNA research. What an idiot…
