Live-Blogging Malaria

Martin Edlund is doing a great job live-blogging the Gates Foundation Malaria Forum in Seattle. It's ambitious – everybody seems keen to talk about eradication – but it's also realistic: the best hope right now would seem to be a vaccine which is (only) 50% to 65% effective in children under 4 years old. So far, no mention of DDT, which is interesting in itself.

(Thanks to Dave Felsen for the tip.)
