Abstract
We conducted two studies in Africa to evaluate a new MenA conjugate vaccine (PsA-TT). In study A, 601 children, 12 to 23 months of age, were randomly assigned to receive PsA-TT, a quadrivalent polysaccharide reference vaccine (PsACWY), or a control vaccine (Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate va...

Abstract
Borreliosis has been widely recognized in Switzerland and is often used in unclear cases with non-specific symptoms. Two illustrative cases should emphasize the current options for diagnosis and therapy of neuroborreliosis. The keystones of the diagnostic instruments are a history wi...

Abstract
In up to half of all cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), no pathogen can be identified with conventional diagnostic methods. The most common identified causative agent is Streptococcus pneumoniae. In this study, pneumococcal antibody responses during CAP were analyzed to est...

Abstract
We have evaluated the immunostimulatory role of the highly-conserved outer membrane lipoprotein P6 from non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) to determine whether the presence of the lipid motif plays a critical role on its immunogenicity. We undertook a systematic analysis of the role that the...

Abstract
Salmonella Paratyphi A (SPA) is rapidly becoming a common cause of enteric fever in South East Asia. A large outbreak of SPA occurred in a boarding middle school in China in 2004. There were 394 suspected cases; 95·5% were students. The highest incidence was in the youngest children (7th grade). Fo...

Abstract
The basis for efficacy of the recombinant botulinum vaccine, serotypes A and B (rBV A/B) is that neutralizing antibodies induced by vaccination bind to botulinum neurotoxin complex serotype A, subtype A1 (BoNT/A1) and serotype B, subtype B1 (BoNT/B1) and prevent their actions at cholinergic neurons....

Abstract
We found a higher number of H. parasuis strains (16 strains) within a given farm than previously thought. Overall, more H. parasuis diversity was found in piglets from non-vaccinated sows than in those from vaccinated sows. These results indicate that vaccination of sows in a farm delays the coloniz...
