Epidemiological consequences of enduring strain-specific immunity requiring repeated episodes of infection

2019-06-17

Abstract excerpt

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) skin infections are caused by a diverse array of strain types and are highly prevalent in Indigenous and other disadvantaged populations. The role of strain-specific immunity in preventing GAS infections is poorly understood, representing a critical knowledge gap in vaccine development. A recent GAS murine challenge study showed evidence that sterilising strain-specific and enduring im...
