History of malaria vaccine

In the twentieth century, due to the large number of infected was the need to find a way to prevent the spread of this disease, which was destroying much of the world'spopulation.
The fight against malaria began to see the damage that was causing; A first solution came in 1950, with the invention of insecticides, initially gave results, but over time, mosquitoes weredeveloping some resistance against these. Today they are immune to most insecticides.

Then, I am seeking to exterminate mosquitoes, destroying their larvae, which grew in the marshes of the affectedregions, but no success. At that time it was already known that quinine, which came from the bark of the cinchona, a tree from the foothills of the Andes in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, was a highlyeffective malaria treatment, which was used to combat parasites They are causing this disease; but after a time I become pregnant using, lost their effectiveness in certain types of Plasmodium.

So in1981 the WHO, World Health Organization, gave a clarion call to the world community about this disease, many researchers and countries heeded this call, but a doctor and Colombian scientist ManuelElkin Patarroyo, discovered in 1987 the first vaccine against malaria.
Patarroyo investigations began in the early 80s' when he gave a twist to his career in research on genetic predispositions to certaindiseases and focused on the development of synthetic vaccines, especially in the development of a vaccine malaria. Sensitized by the living conditions of the third world that made the disease spreadrapidly, leaving behind the deaths of millions of poor people.
