Burden of Shigella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections among children under 5 years in Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi
Diarrhoea remains a major problem among children in low- and middle-income countries, driven by multiple pathogens including rotavirus, Shigella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Rotavirus vaccines have notably reduced diarrhoea deaths. However, the health consequences associated with Shigella and ETEC, along with rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR), have prompted the WHO to prioritise vaccine development against these two pathogens.…
‘I was locked down by myself’
Public Health and Social Measures (PHSM) are used worldwide to prevent the spread of infectious disease. However, PHSMs can also lead to unintended harms, exacerbating health and social inequalities. For example, many countries ‘exclude’ children under six shedding Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) from childcare settings to reduce transmission, given that STEC infection causes serious illness, including renal failure. In England, children she…
Cost-effectiveness analysis of alternative infant and neonatal rotavirus vaccination schedules in Malawi
Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea among children under five worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although vaccination is the best strategy to prevent rotavirus, obstacles leading to poor vaccine effectiveness undermine its impact in LMICs. This study aimed to identify the optimal rotavirus vaccination strategy for Malawi by modeling vaccine impact and cost-effectiveness, comparing the current two-dose…
Evidence needs and community involvement in policy decisions for vaccine-preventable diarrhoeal infections among children under the age of five years
Diarrhoeal diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five years in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with Shigella and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), both targets of ongoing vaccine development, playing major roles. To inform the introduction of vaccines against these pathogens in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malawi, we assessed evidence needs for technical policy decisions and community engagement in n…
Public acceptability of a technology-mediated stool sample collection platform to inform community-based surveillance of infectious intestinal disease
This pilot study assessed the acceptability of technology-mediated platforms for reporting IID and provision of stool samples in the community. Respondents were biased towards younger, technologically inclined, more affluent and educated populations. Acceptability for reporting illness and providing a stool sample through technology-mediated platforms was high. While older populations were under-represented, they were more likely to agree to prov…
Population impact and effectiveness of sequential 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate and monovalent rotavirus vaccine introduction on infant mortality
BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and rotavirus vaccine (RV) are key tools for reducing common causes of infant mortality. However, measurement of population-level mortality impact is lacking from sub-Saharan Africa. We evaluated mortality impact and vaccine effectiveness (VE) of PCV13 introduced in November 2011, with subsequent RV1 roll-out in October 2012, in Malawi. METHODS: We conducted two independent community-based birth co…
Family income and exposure to norovirus in childhood
Children from low income families are at greater risk of poorer health outcomes than their wealthier peers. Hospital admissions for children with gastroenteritis increase as deprivation increases. Noroviruses are responsible for 47-96% of outbreaks of acute paediatric gastroenteritis, and 5-36% of sporadic cases worldwide. However, evidence on the relationship between family income and childhood exposure to norovirus is still limited, with publis…
Reduction in hospitalisations for acute gastroenteritis-associated childhood seizures since introduction of rotavirus vaccination
INTRODUCTION: The incidence of severe childhood diarrhoea has fallen substantially following the introduction of rotavirus vaccine in the UK in July 2013. Since children with rotavirus infection may experience febrile and afebrile seizures, we evaluated the impact of rotavirus vaccination on seizure hospitalisations in children in England. METHODS: Using data from Hospital Episode Statistics, we employed interrupted time-series analyses to assess…
