Implications of Differential Age Distribution of Disease-Associated Meningococcal Lineages for Vaccine Development
3 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
New vaccines targeting meningococci expressing serogroup B polysaccharide have been developed, with some being licensed in Europe. Coverage depends on the distribution of disease-associated genotypes, which may vary by age. It is well established that a small number of hyperinvasive lineages account for most disease, and these lineages are associated with particular antigens, including vaccine candidates. A...
