Population genetics and molecular epidemiology of <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i>

1998-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Under non‐epidemic conditions, Neisseria meningitidis causes disease primarily in children under the age of 5 and the cases are sporadic without any evident relationship between them. Occasionally, localized outbreaks of meningococcal disease occur, and sometimes epidemic waves of disease may spread to several countries or even continents and constitute a pandemic. In the past 10 years or so, population genetic an...
