Silent spread of H5N1 in vaccinated poultry
Article Abstract:
An analysis has shown that the silent spread of the H5N1 influenza A virus can occur due to incomplete protection at the flock level, even if a vaccine is effective in individual birds. Vaccination can be highly effective in individual birds and hence a successful vaccination programme requires not only a highly effective vaccine but also a highly effective vaccine-delivery system, combined with effective biological security and the rapid detection and removal of infected flocks.

The dynamics of measles in sub-Saharan Africa
Article Abstract:
The article discusses dynamics and the onset of measles epidemics in different parts of sub-Saharan Africa. The epidemic is found to be the result of the variability arising due to powerful seasonality in transmission and hence requires adequate control strategies for elimination.
