National burden of and optimal vaccine policy for Japanese encephalitis virus in Bangladesh: a seroprevalence and modelling study
Bangladesh first reported Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in 1977 and has seen regular cases since; however, no JEV vaccination programme currently exists. A barrier to the use of JEV vaccines has been a limited understanding of the underlying burden. We conducted a nationally representative serological...

Complications and mortality of typhoid fever: an updated global systematic review and meta-analysis
Updated estimates of the prevalence of complications and case-fatality ratio (CFR) among patients with typhoid fever are needed to inform typhoid fever prevention and control. To support country-level decisions on typhoid prevention and control with contemporary estimates of morbidity and mortality,...

Shifting targets: typhoid's transformation from an environmental to a vaccine-preventable disease, 1940–2019
160 years after the discovery of its waterborne transmission and 120 years after the development of the first-generation of vaccines, typhoid fever remains a major health threat globally. In this Historical Review, we use WHO's Institutional Repository for Information Sharing to examine changes in typhoid...

Global typhoid fever incidence: an updated systematic review with meta-analysis
Contemporary evidence on the incidence of typhoid fever is essential to inform decision making for typhoid prevention by vaccine introduction and non-vaccine measures. We aimed to update our previous systematic review and meta-analysis on the global incidence of typhoid fever. We performed a systematic...

Boostability after single-visit pre-exposure prophylaxis with rabies vaccine: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial
After rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) vaccination, scarcely available rabies immunoglobulins are not required for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). However, PrEP is not sufficiently accessible as it is cost-intensive and time-intensive. This study investigates whether rabies PrEP schedules can...
