Global warming is often predicted to cause a devastating increase in the range and frequency of malaria, but somebody forgot to tell the malarial mosquitoes.
He discovered that infants given doses of an anti-malarial drug called Fansidar along with their regular childhood vaccinations often acquired immunity to malaria.
Since 2005, when the Gates Foundation began work on malaria advocacy, it has helped not only with fundraising and advocacy, but also with developing anti-malarial drugs and looking for a treatment.
