Immunisation against meningococcus B: the case of Spain.

Immunisation against meningococcus B.

www.thelancet.com Vol 382 September 7, 2013 857 in 2000 under circumstances of uncertainty about efficacy and low (but in that case rising) disease incidence. A decision to introduce the Novartis vaccine, which is not really a meningococcus B but actually a broader, generic meningococcal vaccine, and to give it to adolescents and young adults who have the highest carriage rates could have been ...

Immunisation of Adult Sheep Against Brucella Infection

Effect of vaccination of cattle with the low virulence Nc-Spain 1H isolate of Neospora caninum against a heterologous challenge in early and mid-gestation

Live vaccines have emerged as one of the most potentially cost-effective measures for the control of bovine neosporosis. Previous studies have shown that Nc-Spain 1H is a naturally attenuated isolate of Neospora caninum and that immunisation with live Nc-Spain 1H tachyzoites generated a protective immune response in mice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of immunisa...

Meningococcal invasive disease, including the main clinical presentation forms (sepsis and meningitis), is a severe and potentially lethal infection caused by different serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis. Meningococcal serogroup B is the most prevalent in Europe. Most cases occur in children, with a mortality rate of 10% and a risk of permanent sequelae of 20-30% among survivors. The highest ...

The eradication of infectious agents is an attractive means of disease control that, to date, has been achieved for only one human pathogen, the smallpox virus. The introduction of vaccines against Neisseria meningitidis into immunisation schedules, and particularly the conjugate polysaccharide vaccines which can interrupt transmission, raises the question of whether disease caused by this obli...
