HIV, malaria and tuberculosis vaccines unlikely: study

The Sydney Morning Herald: Vaccines against HIV, malaria and tuberculosis — three major killers of the world’s poor — are unlikely to be produced in the foreseeable future unless vastly more money is committed to finding them, a new study has concluded.
To make real progress against this variety of infectious diseases by 2030, the study concluded, the world must increase research spending to nearly $US9 billion ($12 billion) a year; it now spends only about $US3 billion.
Other worthy goals that appear out of reach for now include a hepatitis C vaccine, a combination vaccine against the four leading causes of deadly diarrhoea.
