Description
Each year there are nearly 11 million cases of typhoid, a disease that is
spread through contaminated food, drink and water. Researchers at the
University of Maryland School of Medicine are leading an international
consortium that is studying the impact of a typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) in
an effort to accelerate introduction of the vaccine in countries in sub-Saharan
Africa and Asia where there is a high burden of typhoid.
