Geographical and temporal variations of serogroups and clonal types of Neisseria meningitidis involved in culture-confirmed invasive meningococcaldisease in Canada, 2015-2023. Invasive meningococcaldisease (IMD) is a nationally notifiable illness in Canada due to its potential severity and transmissibility. Vaccination strategies differ by province/territory and are informed by changes
Evaluating the Efficacy of a Serious Game to Deliver Health Education About Invasive MeningococcalDisease: Clustered Randomized Controlled Equivalence Trial. Invasive meningococcaldisease (IMD) is a serious, vaccine-preventable infectious disease that can be life-threatening. Teaching adolescents about the early detection and prevention of IMD can be challenging in a school environment
Whole genome analysis of Neisseria meningitidis isolates from invasive meningococcaldisease collected in the Czech Republic over 28 years (1993-2020). Invasive meningococcaldisease belongs among the most dangerous infectious diseases in the world. Several polysaccharide conjugate vaccines against serogroups A, C, W and Y are available and two recombinant peptide vaccines against serogroup B . meningitidis isolates from invasive meningococcaldisease covering 28 years. Serogroup B isolates (MenB) showed high heterogeneity and the most common clonal complexes were cc18, cc32, cc35, cc41/44, and cc269. Isolates of clonal complex cc11 were predominately serogroup C (MenC). The highest number of serogroup W isolates (MenW) belonged to clonal complex cc865, which we described as exclusive to the Czech
Differences in meningococcaldisease incidence by health insurance type and among persons experiencing homelessness-United States, 2016-2019. Meningococcaldisease is a serious but rare disease in the United States. Prior publications suggest incidence differs among privately vs publicly-insured persons, and that incidence is higher among persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) than persons not known to be experiencing homelessness (non-PEH). Using insurance claims data for persons aged <1 to 64 years, we calculated meningococcaldisease incidence among a population with employer-sponsored commercial insurance and persons enrolled in state Medicaid programs nationwide. We also examined meningococcaldisease incidence by PEH status in Medicaid data. From 2016 through 2019, persons who met our

Temporal variations in the serogroup distribution of invasive meningococcaldisease in Quebec, Canada, due to emerging unique clade of serogroup Y strain belonging to the Sequence Type-23 clonal complex. To identify recent trends in invasive meningococcaldiseases (IMD) in Quebec, Canada, with a focus on MenY cases and MenY strains. IMD cases and MenY strains from January 1, 2015 to August 11
Concurrent Outbreaks of Hepatitis A, Invasive MeningococcalDisease, and Mpox, Florida, USA, 2021-2022. In 2022, concurrent outbreaks of hepatitis A, invasive meningococcaldisease (IMD), and mpox were identified in Florida, USA, primarily among men who have sex with men. The hepatitis A outbreak (153 cases) was associated with hepatitis A virus genotype IA. The IMD outbreak (44 cases mpox cases than among hepatitis A (21%) or IMD (34%) cases. Where feasible, vaccination against hepatitis A, meningococcaldisease, and mpox should be encouraged among at-risk groups and offered along with program services that target those groups.
Obstetric and Neonatal Invasive MeningococcalDisease Caused by Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup W, Western Australia, Australia. Three mother-baby pairs with invasive meningococcaldisease occurred over 7 months in Western Australia, Australia, at a time when serogroup W sequence type 11 clonal complex was the predominant local strain. One mother and 2 neonates died, highlighting the role
Serogroup B Invasive MeningococcalDisease in Older Adults Identified by Genomic Surveillance, England, 2022-2023. We report a cluster of serogroup B invasive meningococcaldisease identified via genomic surveillance in older adults in England and describe the public health responses. Genomic surveillance is critical for supporting public health investigations and detecting the growing threat
Recent increase in atypical presentations of invasive meningococcaldisease in France. Invasive meningococcaldisease (IMD) cases declined upon the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) (social distancing and mask wearing) to control the COVID-19 pandemic but rebounded in 2022 in numbers with genotypical changes of the strains. We explored here associated modifications
Follow-up care experience of patients with invasive meningococcaldisease and their family caregivers: a qualitative study. Clinical guidelines recommend systematic follow-up of patients surviving invasive meningococcaldisease (IMD) to assess sequelae. However, little is known about survivors and family caregivers' experiences of the follow-up care. Study sought to explore IMD survivors
