In 2012, Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W caused a widespread meningitis epidemic in Burkina Faso. We describe the dynamic of the epidemic at the subdistrict level. Disease detection at this scale allows for a timelier response, which is critical in the new epidemiologic landscape created in Africa by the N. meningitidis A conjugate vaccine.
2012年,W群脑膜炎奈瑟菌在布基纳法索引发了一场大规模的脑膜炎疫情。我们描述了该疫情在分区层面的动态情况。在这种规模下进行疾病监测能够实现更及时的应对,这在非洲因A群脑膜炎奈瑟菌结合疫苗而形成的新流行病学格局中至关重要。
