Invasive meningococcal disease in older adults in North America and Europe: is this the time for action? A review of the literature

Sandra Guedes et al.

Summary: Neisseria meningitidis, a pathogen causing invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), poses a significant public health burden with high case fatality rates. Older adults are increasingly affected, particularly by serogroups W and Y, which are not usually predominant. Vaccination strategies and public health programs may need to be evaluated to address this shifting epidemiology.

Meningococcal Deduced Vaccine Antigen Reactivity (MenDeVAR) Index: a Rapid and Accessible Tool That Exploits Genomic Data in Public Health and Clinical Microbiology Applications

Charlene M. C. Rodrigues et al.

Summary: The interpretation of whole-genome sequence data in clinical and public health microbiology is crucial, especially for non-specialists. Two protein-based vaccines have been used for the prevention of invasive serotype B meningococcal disease, requiring decisions on vaccine usage to be based on index case isolates. A new MenDeVAR Index provides rapid evidence-based information on meningococcal vaccine antigen variants for practitioners, developed independently of vaccine manufacturers.
