Meningococcal Vaccines

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2001
Global control and prevention of meningococcal disease depends on the further development of vaccines that overcome the limitations of the current polysaccharide vaccines. Protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccines likely will address the marginal protective antibody responses and short duration of immunity in young children derived from the A, C, Y ...

Meningococcal carriage, meningococcal disease and vaccination

Journal of Infection, 1988
Group A meningococcal carriage rates were determined 6 months before and 6 and 18 months after a mass vaccination campaign with a combined group A and group C meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine in a rural area of The Gambia. During the first pre-vaccination survey, performed during an outbreak of meningococcal disease, the carriage rate was high (16%)

Bioanalysis of Meningococcal Vaccines

Bioanalysis, 2010
Meningococcal meningitis is feared because of the rapid onset of severe disease from mild symptoms and, therefore, is an important target for vaccine research. Five serogroups, defined by the structures of their capsular polysaccharides, are responsible for the vast majority of disease.
