Predictions of the emergence of vaccine-resistant hepatitis B in The Gambia using a mathematical model.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Apr 2000

Wilson J N, Nokes D J, Carman W F

Abstract excerpt

Vaccine escape variants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) have been identified world-wide. A mathematical model of HBV transmission is used to investigate the potential pattern of emergence of such variants. Attention is focused on The Gambia as a country with high quality epidemiological data, universal infant immunization and in which escape mutants after childhood infections have been observed. We predict that a...
