Quantifying social contacts in a household setting of rural Kenya using wearable proximity sensors

TL;DR: The results show for a low resource setting how wearable proximity sensors can be used to objectively collect high-resolution temporal data without direct supervision and appear acceptable in this population following adequate community engagement on study procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating vaccination strategies for reducing infant respiratory syncytial virus infection in low-income settings

TL;DR: Preliminary evaluations of RSV transmission patterns in a rural setting of Kenya support the efforts to develop vaccines and related strategies that go beyond targeting vaccines to those at highest risk of severe disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors associated with increased risk of progression to respiratory syncytial virus‐associated pneumonia in young Kenyan children*

TL;DR: To isolate those risk factors specifically associated with RSV‐LRTI and identify targets for control, it is necessary to identify factors associated with developing severe respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia and their commonality with all‐cause lower respiratory tract infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Analysis of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Reinfections in Infants from Coastal Kenya

TL;DR: These are the first data that specifically address strain-specific reinfections in infancy in relation to the primary infecting variant and suggest that, following primary infection, some infants lose strain- specific immunity within 7-9 months (between epidemics) and group-specific immunity within 2-4 months (during an epidemic period).
Journal ArticleDOI
