Feb 9, 2010
Global initiative to fight meningitis in Africa launches web site.
MenAfriCar (the African Meningococcal Carriage Consortium) is a new international consortium that has been established to help researchers understand how meningococcal meningitis spreads in Africa.
The global consortium, which is being led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine will also document the impact of a new meningitis vaccine on reducing transmission.
Take a look around this site to find out about MenAfriCar's planned research activities throughout the sub-Saharan African meningitis belt that stretches from Ethiopia to Gambia and Senegal. Over the last 100 years, major meningitis epidemics have occurred within the meningitis belt every few years.
