Global Burden of Shigella Infections: Implications for Vaccine Development and Implementation of Control Strategies
Karen L. Kotloff,Jonathan P. Winickoff,Bernard Ivanoff,John D. Clemens,David L. Swerdlow,Philippe J. Sansonetti,Goutam K. Adak,Myron M. Levine +7 more
TL;DR: Shigellosis, which continues to have an important global impact, cannot be adequately controlled with the existing prevention and treatment measures, and innovative strategies, including development of vaccines against the most common serotypes, could provide substantial benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
The protective efficacy of polyvalent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.
Eugene D. Shapiro,Anne T. Berg,Robert Austrian,Donna Schroeder,Valerie J. Parcells,Amy Margolis,Russell K. Adair,John D. Clemens +7 more
TL;DR: Polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine is efficacious in preventing invasive pneumitiscal infections in immunocompetent patients with indications for its administration and should be used more widely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccination greatly reduces disease, disability, death and inequity worldwide.
FE Andre,Robert Booy,H.L. Bock,John D. Clemens,Sanjoy K Datta,TJ John,Bee Wah Lee,S Lolekha,Heikki Peltola,Tilman A Ruff,M Santosham,Heinz-Josef Schmitt +11 more
TL;DR: In low-income countries, infectious diseases still account for a large proportion of deaths, highlighting health inequities largely caused by economic differences, and vaccination can cut health-care costs and reduce these inequities.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of typhoid fever in five asian countries: disease burden and implications for controls
R. Leon Ochiai,Camilo J. Acosta,M. Carolina Danovaro-Holliday,Dong Baiqing,Sujit K. Bhattacharya,Magdarina D.

TL;DR: The incidence of typhoid varied substantially between sites, being high in India and Pakistan, intermediate in Indonesia, and low in China and Viet Nam, and underscore the importance of evidence on disease burden in making policy decisions about interventions to control this disease.
