Scientists have found the key to producing a vaccine able to wipe out malaria, and stop millions of people die from this disease each year.

The scientists said they found "heel A-sin" to produce a vaccine to help prevent malaria, and can develop an experimental vaccination program within two years .
Malaria caused by parasites called Plasmodium falciparum causes the human body and is spread from person to person by mosquito bites. The malaria are high fever, headache, coma or even death. As of now, there are no special medications that treat the disease is considered common and frequently epidemic in tropical countries.
There will be a malaria vaccine in 2 years
There will be a malaria vaccine within two years.
Patients with this disease must be treated as a separate protocol through a combination of several drugs. However, millions of people still die from malaria each year, especially in less developed countries.
Efforts to develop vaccines to prevent the attack of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in the blood before it had failed by this kind of adaptability is very high. However, new research has discovered a condition required by the parasite may enter the human body. This means that prevent the entry of the parasite will be simpler.
Dr Gavin Wright, head of research at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge, said: "We have found quite surprising and contrary to previous research." This will allow testing a new vaccine in the past two years. If successful, this vaccine can be mass applied in the next 10-20 years.
The World Health Organization WHO, said each year about 243 million people with malaria and one million of whom die of the disease in 2008. Thus, this new discovery is extremely significant for the development of mankind, because most deaths from malaria are children under 5 years old.
