Retrospective Case-Control Study of 2017 G2P[4] Rotavirus Epidemic in Rural and Remote Australia

A widespread G2P[4] rotavirus epidemic in rural and remote Australia provided an opportunity to evaluate the performance of Rotarix and RotaTeq rotavirus vaccines, ten years after their incorporation into Australia's National Immunisation Program.

Infant, maternal and demographic predictors of delayed vaccination: A population-based cohort study

Receiving vaccines at or close to their due date (vaccination timeliness) is a now key measure of program performance. However, studies comprehensively examining predictors of delayed infant vaccination are lacking. We aimed to identify predictors of short and longer-term delays in diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccination by dose number and ethnicity.

Informing rubella vaccination strategies in East Java, Indonesia through transmission modelling

A single dose of rubella vaccine will take longer to reduce the burden of rubella and will be less robust to lower vaccine coverage

Epidemiology and mortality of staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia in Australian and New Zealand children

Describe the epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in children and adolescents younger than 18 years from Australia and New Zealand

Antibiotic duration and timing of the switch from intravenous to oral route for bacterial infections in children: systematic review and guidelines

Systematic review of antibiotic duration and timing of intravenous to oral switch for paediatric infectious diseases and evidence-graded recommendations

Australian trachoma surveillance annual report, 2013

National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit to collate, analyse and report trachoma prevalence data and document trachoma control strategies in Australia

Risk factors associated with RSV hospitalisation in the first 2 years of life, among different subgroups of children in NSW

Data on risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated hospitalisation in Australian children may be informative for preventive measures.

Immunogenetics of Parasitic and Bacterial Disease

Here we focus on more recent well-powered genome-wide association studies, including malaria, leprosy, tuberculosis, and visceral leishmaniasis

Chronic HIV-1 infection induces B-cell dysfunction that is incompletely resolved by long-term antiretroviral therapy

B-cell dysfunction persists in patients with HIV receiving long-term antiretroviral therapy. the causes and consequences of this require further investigation.

Exploring the dynamics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) transmission in children

We develop a compartmental model for RSV infection, driven by a seasonal forcing function, and conduct parameter space and bifurcation analyses to document...
