International workshop on malaria

    ABIDJAN

    A week-long international workshop on malaria opened on Monday in Accra with calls on African scientists to conduct more research that would provide better tools to control the disease, PANA reported.

    The calls come amidst global efforts by scientists to come up with an powerful vaccine by 2010, according to PANA, which said there were about 20 vaccines on trial.

    Scientists from Africa and Europe are attending the workshop organised by the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research and WHO. It is scheduled to lead to the establishment of a network of trained African scientists capable of conducting research into the disease, PANA said.
