Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of meningococcal carriage and disease isolates in Burkina Faso after mass vaccination with a serogroup a conjugate vaccine

Two different vaccines, a 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) and a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) are available to prevent pneumococcal disease in adults..

meningitidis isolates collected approximately 2 months apart from the same asymptomatic carrier were shown to have a high degree of within-host genetic changes (25). As three

(ii) the impact of conjugate vaccines and meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccination on disease and carriage; and (iii) the risk of invasive disease in specific occupations..

Abbreviations: IPD, invasive pneumococcal disease; PCV, pneumococcal conju- gate vaccine; PCV7, 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV13, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate

Therefore, to better understand the epidemiology of meningococcal carriage in southern Ethiopia and to pre- dict the potential impact of MenAfriVac, we conducted a carriage study

The system can be implemented as follows: A web-service client runs on the user device, collecting sensor data from the device and input data from the user. The client compiles

The dense gas atmospheric dispersion model SLAB predicts a higher initial chlorine concentration using the instantaneous or short duration pool option, compared to evaporation from

Based on the above-mentioned tensions, a recommendation for further research is to examine whether young people who have participated in the TP influence their parents and peers in
