Impact of inactivated poliovirus vaccine on mucosal immunity: implications for the polio eradication endgame. [PDF]

, 2015
The polio eradication endgame aims to bring transmission of all polioviruses to a halt. To achieve this aim, it is essential to block viral replication in individuals via induction of a robust mucosal immune response. Although it has long been recognized

Genomic surveillance and improved molecular typing ofBordetella pertussisusing wgMLST [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2020
ABSTRACTMulti-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) provides allele-based characterization of bacterial pathogens in a standardized framework. However, current MLST schemes forBordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, seldom reveal diversity among the small number of gene targets and thereby fail to delineate population structure.

Pertussis outbreak detected by active surveillance in Cyprus in 2003 [PDF]

Eurosurveillance, 2007
Pertussis is a disease of substantial public health importance that still lacks an efficient surveillance system. It has been a notifiable disease in Cyprus since 1930, and has had an incidence rate of 1 per 100,000 persons during the last 10 years. In 2001, the Greece-Cyprus Paediatric Surveillance Unit (GCPSU) was established with the aim of active ...

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.
