| Title: | Meningitis epidemics shift in sub-Saharan belt | Authors: | Zhao, S Lin, Q He, D Stone, L |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | International journal of infectious diseases, 2018, v. 68, p. 79-82 | Abstract: | Meningococcal meningitis (MCM) poses a serious threat to public health in Africa. Epidemics appear irregularly every 5–12 years, especially in the regions across sub-Saharan ‘meningitis belt’. This study investigated the long-term spatiotemporal dynamics of MCM. It appears that dominant epidemic outbreaks in the meningitis belt spread from west to east over the study period 2006–2016. | Keywords: | Epidemics Meningococcal meningitis Spatio-temporal pattern Sub-Saharan belt |
