Group A (Strep A) is responsible for a significant global health and economic burden. The recent prioritization of Strep A vaccine development by the World Health Organization has prompted global research activities and collaborations. To progress this prioritization, establishment of robust surveillance for Strep A to generate updated regional disease burden estimates and to establish platforms for future impact evaluation is essential. Through the activities of the Strep A Vaccine Global Consortium (SAVAC), we have refined and harmonized surveillance protocols for 7 Strep A disease endpoints with a view that these will form part of surveillance standards for ongoing research and public health activities.
A组(A群链球菌)给全球带来了重大的健康和经济负担。世界卫生组织最近将A群链球菌疫苗研发列为优先事项,这推动了全球范围内的研究活动与合作。为推动这一优先事项的进展,建立强大的A群链球菌监测体系以生成最新的区域疾病负担估计数,并建立未来影响评估平台至关重要。通过A群链球菌疫苗全球联盟(SAVAC)的活动,我们完善并统一了针对7个A群链球菌疾病终点的监测方案,以期这些方案将成为正在进行的研究和公共卫生活动监测标准的一部分。
