[International Vaccine Institute (IVI) @IVIHeadquarters]

There are ~12.5 to 16.3 million cases of #typhoid every year with ~140,000 deaths

However, with generic symptoms and the need for blood culture sampling to make a definitive diagnosis, it is difficult for governments to capture the true burden of typhoid in their countries

[Professor Gordon Dougan FRS @GordonDougan1]

Great to see this key surveillance centre starting to take off. They application of pathogen genomics in real time by @WHO and collaborators.

[International Vaccine Institute (IVI) @IVIHeadquarters]

📢 NEW research in @LancetGH shows a high burden of #typhoid fever in sub-Saharan African countries, indicating need for introduction of typhoid conjugate vaccines in endemic countries
