Q fever seroprevalence in Australia suggests one in twenty people have been exposed

, 2020
Q fever (caused by Coxiella burnetii) is thought to have an almost world-wide distribution, but few countries have conducted national serosurveys. We measured Q fever seroprevalence using residual sera from diagnostic laboratories across Australia ...

Systematic review and meta‐analysis of seroprevalence studies of West Nile virus in equids in Europe between 2001 and 2018

, 2021
There is some evidence that West Nile virus (WNV), which causes encephalomyelitis in equids, is an emerging disease in Europe. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the seroprevalence of West Nile virus ...

Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence estimates between commercial lab serum specimens and blood donor specimens, United States, September–December 2021

Microbiology Spectrum
We estimated monthly cross-sectional seroprevalence rates of anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) and anti-spike (anti-S) antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in two U.S. nationwide studies. The nationwide blood donor seroprevalence (NBDS)

Modelling Impact of Different Varicella Immunisation Strategies Upon Introduction in the Swedish National Programme

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Countries with varicella immunisation programmes have seen major reductions in disease burden. While two‐dose schedules are now universally adopted, dosing ages vary, and some countries initially include catch‐up vaccination of older children to speed impact. This modelling study assessed three two‐dose schedules in the Swedish setting (1)

Norovirus Seroprevalence among Adults in the United States: Analysis of NHANES Serum Specimens from 1999–2000 and 2003–2004

Viruses, 2020
Norovirus is the most common cause of epidemic and endemic acute gastroenteritis. However, national estimates of the infection burden are challenging. This study used a nationally representative serum bank to estimate the seroprevalence to five norovirus

Health Economic Evaluation of Varicella Vaccination Within the Swedish National Vaccination Programme for Children

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To assess the cost‐effectiveness of including varicella vaccination in the Swedish national vaccination programme for children together with the added impact of catch‐up vaccination of susceptible older children. Methods An epidemiological transmission model was used to assess the cost‐effectiveness of a two‐dose national varicella ...

Seroprevalence of Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Antibodies, French Polynesia, 2014–2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We investigated dengue and chikungunya virus antibody seroprevalence in French Polynesia during 2014–2015. Dengue virus seroprevalence was ≈60% among schoolchildren and >83% among the general population; chikungunya virus seroprevalence was
