Mathematical modelling of infection and disease due to Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria lactamica

1 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Invasive meningococcal disease, due to Neisseria meningitidis, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in young children and adolescents. Nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococci (MC), is most prevalent in young adults whereas carriage of Neisseria lactamica (LC), a related non-pathogenic organism, is most prevalent in young children. The objective of this study was to use modelling techniques...
