Nipah: The looming post-covid pandemic
Bioinformation. 2024 Jan 31;20(1):1-3. doi: 10.6026/973206300200001. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTFirst identified as a pathogen in Malaysia and Singapore in 1999, Nipah virus (NiV) caused nearly 300 human cases and over 100 fatalities. It also killed about 1 million pigs. Three years later (2002), it was reported in Pteropus bats in Malaysia, in Cambodia & Thailand, (2005), and as far as Madagascar (2007) and Ghana (2008). India (Kerala) reported its first human NiV-caused fatalities in September 2023. Taken together, these trends emphasize its public health threat. In humans, NiV infection initially leads to fever, heada...

Immunization with a whole cell vaccine reduces pneumococcal nasopharyngeal density and shedding, and middle ear infection in mice
Vaccine. 2024 Feb 12:S0264-410X(24)00131-2. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.01.104. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines (PCVs) have substantially reduced the burden of disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus). However, protection is limited to vaccine serotypes, and when administered to children who are colonized with pneumococci at the time of vaccination, immune responses to the vaccine are blunted. Here, we investigate the potential of a killed whole cell pneumococcal vaccine (WCV) to reduce existing pneumococcal carriage and mucosal disease when given therapeutically to infant...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Despite effective vaccines against influenza, pneumococcus and COVID-19, uptake has been suboptimal.RESEARCH QUESTION: While disparities in vaccination by race and ethnicity have been observed, what is the role of other sociodemographic in US vaccine uptake?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We conducted a population-based study using Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP), a comprehensive medical records linkage system, to assess effects of sociodemographic factors including race, ethnicity, individual-level socioecon...

Neighborhood-level disadvantages increase risk for invasive pneumococcal disease
CONCLUSIONS: ADI is a risk factor for IPD in younger adults. Community-level socioeconomic risk factors should be considered when developing prevention strategies such as increasing vaccine uptake in high risk population to reduce the disease burden of IPD.PMID:38340982 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2024.02.002 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)

Measles vaccination - An underestimated prevention measure: Analyzing a fatal case in Hildesheim, Germany
We describe here an outbreak of measles occurring in Hildesheim. The outbreak comprised 43 cases and lasted 14 weeks. Surprisingly, a high number of vaccination failures was observed since 11 cases had received two doses of the MMR vaccine and 4 additional cases were vaccinated once. A 33-year-old woman passed away during the outbreak. She was the mother of 5 children between 4 and 16 years of age. Two schoolchildren contracted measles and passed it on to the rest of the family. Due to delivery bottlenecks, the vaccination of the mother was delayed. She developed measles-like symptoms 3 days after vaccination and was found...

Surveillance of pneumococcal serotypes in adults hospitalised with acute lower respiratory tract infection in Bristol, UK
DISCUSSION: Among adults hospitalised with respiratory infection, pneumococcus is an important pathogen across all subgroups, including CAP+/RAD- and NP-LRTI. Despite 20-years of PPV23 use in adults ≥ 65-years and herd protection due to 17-years of PCV use in infants, vaccine-serotype pneumococcal disease still causes a significant proportion of LRTI adult hospitalizations. Direct adult vaccination with high-valency PCVs may reduce pneumococcal disease burden.PMID:38336560 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.02.007 (Source: Vaccine)
