MUMBAI: The city is reeling under the annual attack by monsoon diseases. Cases of water-borne diseases like gastroenteritis and hepatitis have been on the rise since July. Now, the incidence of malaria is growing, say physicians.

According to figures provided by the BMC’s health department, 3,193 cases of malaria were reported this month, till Monday. A comparison with last year, when the disease peaked in September with 2,400 cases, shows that the peak has come much sooner this time.

Many other candidate vaccines are in development, but experts say trial results of this one, published in the Lancet, are the most promising yet.
