While these companies likely didn't use any data from distributed computing, I still think that another potentially effective malaria vaccine is good news and is related to what we do here. Vaccine!!!!!
 
Actually, malaria was a prime candidate for vaccine, because the natural evolution of the disease is that you become immune after several dozens fevers.

Companies did not pursue it because vaccines are not great money makers, and the money in malaria is in offering better and safer drugs for travellers/workers, not in permanently removing the disease from statistics.
 
Interesting. I never knew that. It is still good to see that something has been found to be effective though, regardless of the reasons behind it. Any research is good research! Thanks for the good info!
