Before COVID, many other diseases plagued our world...and they haven’t simply gone away. In fact, the current pandemic has actually made many other epidemics even harder to treat and control.
But there’s good news on the horizon, because recent breakthroughs are bringing us more immunity than we’ve ever had before to one of the world’s oldest and deadliest infectious diseases. That disease is malaria. It affects over 200 MILLION people and kills about half a million people every year.
It’s actually one of the world’s leading causes of death for children under 5. And it’s been around for literal millenia. Like, we have evidence for this parasite as far back as the neolithic period, and we still don’t have a handle on it...why?!
See, when we make a vaccine, we’re trying to get your body to protect itself by introducing it to the parts of the pathogen that would make you sick, what’s called an antigen. For COVID, that’s the viral spike protein. But parasites are generally much more complex pathogens than bacteria or viruses, so those antigens are more complicated. But there are some on the horizon.

Malaria vaccine shows promise - now come tougher trials
www.nature.com/articles/d4158...
It took researchers less than a year to develop a roster of effective vaccines against COVID-19, but half a century of toil has still not yielded a vaccine against malaria that meets the World Health Organization’s efficacy goal. Part of the problem is low investment in preventing a disease that predominately affects low- and middle-income countries.
Malaria vaccine hailed as potential breakthrough
www.bbc.com/news/health-56858158
A malaria vaccine has proved to be 77% effective in early trials and could be a major breakthrough against the disease, says the University of Oxford team behind it.
Malaria is notoriously hard to vaccinate against. A new vaccine technology might change that.
www.vox.com/future-perfect/22...
Despite decades of research, only one malaria vaccine so far has passed muster. It has fairly low efficacy - perhaps around 30 percent - and requires a series of four shots, which makes it a challenge to administer in poor, rural areas where malaria often hits the hardest.

It’s ghastly how people continue to suffer from these parasitic infections. Great to hear progress is being made. Excellent video.
This would be huge if successful. A malaria vaccine is LONG overdue to say the least.
This is the most chill display of enthusiasm I've ever seen lol. It's like you're... an excited librarian 😅
Very informative video too. Thank you 😁
mRNA vaccines seem to have a promising future. I'm wondering how soon we might see mRNA vaccines for other viruses & bacteria such as Cholera, HIV and other STDs, Zika, Dengue, etc....
It is nice to be able to feel hopeful about something. 👍🏽
Vaccines can't be made for Bacteria
@@BurkeyTurkey1234 why? they do have some surface proteins specific to the bacteria, ergo could be looking antibacterial vaccines in the future
MRNA is the work of satan
@@sl4074 in that case satan is literaly keeping you alive
Excellent video
If anyone can answer plz 🙏 do...
RBCs doesn't have nucleus, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, Endoplasmic reticulum and many other essential cell organelles....so why do these infectious agents attack RBCs and how they multiply using RBCs....??????
It can save millions of lives in India and other Asian and African countries.
or make billions of dollars? saving lives is the least of concern of big pharma
Awesome news. I wish I could be as happy as you
Hey you can cover topic on air pollution, indoor , outdoor and also topic on vitamine deficiency
Crazy to think that mRNA vaccines are only becoming a thing now, considering the simplicity of them and how long we've known about the central dogma of biology (DNA to RNA to protein).
It is, but it's really cool to think that with this all finally coming together then a lot of doors have opened up. For all the potential other issues we've got on the horizon, I think the next 5 to 10 years with this technology adaptation is going to be pretty awesome.
Rich elites in big pharma will keep new tech away from consumers for as long as possible to maximize profits
@@AquaWeiner ok. Cool. Now go be jaded elsewhere. Some folks are more interested in admiring the science than pretending that they are the too cool for school kid at lunch in high school. 😒
@@Jay-ho9io Ladies and gentlemen, we got em. J ay is big pharma.
@@AquaWeiner had another drink have we?
This would be huge! Humans are amazing!!
Yes! Can't wait to fight in the global warming wars for water WOHOO WE ARE AMAZING!
Progress may often be slow, but it is amazing when it works!!!
thanks sunflower, you too
Maren how I like that you approach your research to issues that not only involve American interests, but also the interests of the world as a whole, especially in the poorest and most unprotected countries.
Really? You think Maren wrote this? These "stories" are written by big companies and half the comments are paid for.
Nice video.
Very interesting video, awesome content!
What are different strategies which are used to eradicate different infection diseases..???
Real princess Leia vibe
An irradiated parasite........sounds like an awesome 50s B-movie to me! But seriously, its great that they have some forward momentum on this!
Without any trials? I wonder why
Where did you hear that?
I don’t understand how these mRNA vaccines work. How does it enter the cells, and get recognized by the immune system? Wouldn’t it stick to the membrane of the cells and cause damage when if there’s a response? The cell won’t just allow RNA to pass its membrane
@Mono832 THAT is why the mRNA is wrapped in a lipid membrane. You know, the "lipid nanoparticles". That protects the mRNA and the lipid then fuses with your cell membrane to release the mRNA into the cell. Ribosomes (protein factories) within your cells then pick up the mRNA and translate it into... the SPIKE PROTEIN of the the virus and this then gets presented on the outside of your cells. Your immune system sees these, creates the appropriate antibodies and destroys the cell with the spike proteins on it and then REMEMBERS this so that when you DO contract the virus, it knows exactly what to do... and helps your body fight off the infection. Very simple really. And with just a BIT of googling, you could have found out all of that on your own. I know you could have!!!
@Mono832 Here’s a great 6 minute video by SciShow explaining mRNA vaccines. ruclips.net/video/z0kfdZ8o_j4/видео.html Hope it helps! Wishing you and your loved ones safety, peace, and as much lighthearted laughter as you can get in these incredibly unpredictable and constantly changing times. 🙏🏼🇨🇦
Very cool.
Best solution though: Extinct mosquitos. (xD) What effects on the environment and ecosystems could we expect if Mosquitos were eliminated?
Male mosquitos only drink nectar if there will be ways to make mosquitos survive only on nectar and if blood then will not transmit the virus
@@gamingcreatesworlddd2425 the thing is also females live on nectar but need the Blood to lay their eggs in. I think its a bit more complicated than just make them used to drinking nectar
what research and studies have found that if the mosquito gets extinct that won't imbalance the nature
Wow. A discovery hoped for for so many years. That's really amazing news.
❤
Could this, perhaps, be the catalyst to other parasite vaccines in the future? Saving countless lives etc
What many people fail to see is Vaccines are a double edged sword. They work by stimulating your immune system and making it able to deal with the real virus. This however opens the opportunity for the virus to Mutate and thus bring about a newer and more deadlier disease.
@@asandax6 but it's chance is too low never ,0
Hydroxychlorquine.
arent there vaccines against tick bites?
IDK think parasites would be better dealt with by using a virus like bacteriophage rather than antibiotics.
2:58 dat thumb is thicc
I’d love a lime, or aids vaccine
Audio bit rate seems a little lower than usual?
Saving the world forever... until it mutates making us have to start over.
RNA technology is truly exciting
eradicate mosquitos on small island nations and see how it affects the environment
What happened to her cute glasses?
And when we check it we found negative before we get malaria but now days we can't
Dengue is more dangerous i guess
Don't think those parasites could survive my liver tbh.
This needs more likes. 🤣
It's already been around since 2 years ago
Its interesting that Hyroxychoroquine is used to treat malaria.
What's so interesting about that?

Actually they already have a malaria vaccine. Back in 2017 Novartis did a medical trial testing the effectiveness of the vaccine. I took part in the trial and got the vaccine. They tried for 6 months to infect me and were unable to give me malaria. Super cool stuff. Now I’m immune to malaria.
Here is some homework. Try to find data on the number deaths in the US from measles in 2019 and 2020. Here is a hint. It's less than one.
Compare that to 49 people dying from lightning each year.
@nosson Here's some homework for you. Find all the people who died from measles in Samoa in 2019. BECAUSE the vaccination rate was so low!!! MOST of them were kids under the age of 5!!!!
Easily preventable disease. Vaccines for such have been around for decades. And until we actually eradicate measles globally, like we did for smallpox, people need to be vaccinated to make sure that it stays away.
@@rickkwitkoski1976
Here is some homework for you. Find out why the native Americans dropped like flys from measles but the Europeans it hardly effected? We're the Europeans taking vaccines a fee hundred years ago? Or do you think you know more than you do?
What about pla s to go africa
But same of us in Africa 🌍 now days we able to fight malaria by ur self like me last time to go to the hospital was last 10 years ago
I live in Karachi Pakistan and I like your comment

@@yubi-kun958 nope
Finally a vaccine that matters
Bull
Love watching how they engineer yeast to produce proteins, antigens, and even silk, think I'd that vaccine than mrna, I'd take my chances with the efficiency and look into ivermectin if I caught malaria
Explain the methodology by which ivermectin provides protection or relief from SARS COV-2 infection.
@@Jay-ho9io please tell me u saw that comment? Another comment removed wtf
Thought about screenshotting it, that's the second time today, I never said to take it, all I did was explain how it worked and the name of the website u could find the meta-study
@@eelcoyle3373 I think it is a portion of the algorithm where if you post a website or a address you're pretty much automatically snipped out.
Bitly seems to work though.
@@Jay-ho9io found the problem, I cant even mention the name of the site, another comment removed and I played with the wording just to try pass the algorithm
Hey ya only need 1 year nowdays 🙃 haha
lol this is what happens when you drop out of school,. dont have kids please. too many dumb people as it is.
*Imagine the day we can sleep with our window's open full. Sleep with lots of partner without consequences!* keep dreaming...
Your mind is FkD up bro 😂
The window problem is solved already though. Ever heard of a fly screen?
Maren you are getting skinny! Hope you are doing okay.
Not living in places where they have malaria is 100% effective against getting malaria.
Please cover ivermectin
About time. Sadly, this will lead to more starvation.
Why?
@@luciana-hs8cg I can only assume he means that more africans living due to malaria will mean even more mouths to feed hence more starvation. I dont think that should stop us trying to vaccinate people though
@@hfjtrytry9216 No condescending assumptions necessary HT, my point is explained directly above in plain English.
Food crops will be upgraded from C3 to C4 starting with rice resulting in a 50% increase in yields. Photosynthesis is 50% more efficient in C4 plants.
@@higreentj Great news. Do you think people are starving because there isn't enough food in the world?
MRNA is changing the world of tomorrow ❤
no1 really cares bout malaria or swine or chicken or eb0la bruh.. theres only paranoq-19 nowdays
This may be a very bad idea because it will lead to massive overpopulation in Africa, combined with mass starvation because they lack resources to manage their food security in the future.
Teen pregnancies and overpopulation already is a massive problem there
Did Bill Gates fund this new vaccine? ... if he did ... I'll take it :D
Another untested modRna gene plug in ? Great . With added minerals . .
Shhhhhhhhhut up ☝️
Another uneducated antivaxxer? Great. With added stupidity.
@@kernobil8162 You can be the test dummy.
@@kernobil8162 Nicely said. Unfortunately there is no vaccine for stupidity. 😂
@@kernobil8162 uneducated ? lol
Fakenews. Plasmodium has no binding receptor.
