Research Roundup: Rift Valley fever vaccine, Malaria treatment alternative, African-made cholera vaccine In this regular feature on Breakthroughs, we highlight some of the most interesting reads in global health research from the past week.

Last week at the @astmh.bsky.social meeting, @mmv.org and Novartis shared the results of a Phase 3 study testing a new malaria treatment that was highly effective at treating malaria, including drug-resistant cases, and could also block disease transmission.
