Exercise 26

Analyzing Data Scientists are trying to develop a vaccine against malaria. Because malaria has several life stages, scientists must decide which life stage should be the target of the vaccine. Some scientists are trying to develop a vaccine against gametocytes as a way of controlling malaria. If they are successful in developing this vaccine, how will it help people living in areas where malaria regularly occurs? Explain your answer.
