World Malaria Day 2017

World Malaria Day 2017

On 25th April 2017, BioMed Central is proud to support World Malaria Day.

Malaria thrives in areas of poverty, adding further economic and social strain on these societies. Many of those most vulnerable to the disease, especially young children and pregnant women, are not able to access the preventative tools, diagnostics and therapeutics that could save their lives. In 2015, 429,000 deaths occurred – most of these were young children.

On World Malaria Day 2017, and indeed every day, BioMed Central is proud to support efforts to reduce the global malaria burden by publishing the latest malaria research and making it free to access.

Malaria Journal

Malaria Journal is aimed at the scientific community interested in malaria in its broadest sense. It is the only journal that publishes exclusively articles on malaria and, as such, it aims to bring together knowledge from the different specialties involved in this very broad discipline, from the bench to the bedside and to the field.

• A review of malaria vaccine clinical projects based on the WHO rainbow table
