Pharmaceutical industry-led R&D on developing new and improved vaccines to tackle neglected diseases have increased in number by 40%, according to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) status report for 2012. Last year’s 132 live projects focus on a range of diseases prioritised by the World Health Organization’s Special Programme for Research & Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) and include tuberculosis, malaria, human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), leishmaniasis, dengue, onchocerciasis (River blindness), American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) and leprosy.
