Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis is inflammation of any section of the gastrointestinal tract, from the oesophagus to the rectum. This inflammation can be caused by a number of factors, including genetics, infection, hypersensitivity, drugs and cancer. Depending on the location and cause, symptoms can include diarrhoea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Impact of maternal antibodies and microbiota development on the immunogenicity of oral rotavirus vaccine in African, Indian, and European infants

Oral rotavirus vaccine (ORV) efficacy varies between countries, but underlying reasons aren’t fully understood. In this prospective cohort study, authors show that maternal rotavirus-specific antibodies in serum and breastmilk and pre-vaccination microbiota diversity are negatively correlated with ORV response in India and Malawi but not in the UK.
