Technological advance does have the potential to cut through the frustrations of development. If we had an AIDS vaccine, for example, we could bypass the difficult fight against taboo and stigma. If we had a way to preserve vaccines without refrigerating them, we would not have to organize cold "chains" to get medicines to villages. It's hard to get parents to deploy malaria bed nets consistently. But if there were a one-shot malaria vaccine, the problem would be solved...

Malaria Plasmodium togetherness a strategy for breeding success [Medical News Today] - (English)
Malaria is a pernicious public health problem in many areas of the world. Sub-Saharan Africa, where cases recorded represent over 90% of the world total, is particularly badly hit. Modelling by IRD scientists has revealed a core feature in the life-cycle of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the disease. Its gametocytes, the pre-gamete sexual forms, aggregate in clusters in human blood capillaries and, once ingested, keep this form until they reach the ideal breeding ground the mosquito's stomach provides. Conditions there favour encounters, and hence binding, between male and female gametocytes, thereby enhancing the parasite's fertilization and reproduction capacity...
