Host genetic determinants of rotavirus disease and immunity in African children

2026-08-22

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Rotavirus (RV) is a major cause of diarrhoeal disease and mortality in African children. The impact of RV vaccination on child health has been limited by low vaccine effectiveness in resource-constrained settings. We urgently need better vaccines to control RV disease, delivery of which will require an improved understanding of RV biology. We hypothesised that the genetics of RV disea...
