New genetic studies suggest that distinct strains of malaria exist in different areas of Africa, making some intervention tactics less effective.
Major challenges remain in recruiting enough scientists with the expertise to help track these strains. gavi.org/vaccineswork/q…

TB is the leading infectious killer but scientific breakthroughs could change that.
On #WorldTBDay, I spoke with @GatesMRI CEO Patrice Matchaba about what’s ahead - from the M72 vaccine candidate to new diagnostics & drugs.
Continued global collaboration is essential to #EndTB
