Malaria is a complex disease that has devastated Africa and parts of South Africa. Researchers at the University of Pretoria Institute for Sustainable Malaria Control are combining research disciplines to understand and control malaria.
More than half a million lives are lost to malaria each year, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). And about 40% of the world’s population lives under constant risk of malaria infection.
Mass vaccination campaigns that reach 70% of dogs will control and, hopefully, eventually eliminate rabies. This is the message that Prof. Darryn Knobel of the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Pretoria would like us to hear.
