DOI: 10.1007/s10903-022-01363-3
Abstract: Migration-flows pose the risk of poliovirus reintroduction from endemic countries to Greece. This study aims to evaluate serologic-immunity/vaccination against poliomyelitis in newly-arriving migrant children. Demographic-immunisation data and blood-serum were obtained from migrants 1-14years-old, referred to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2019.04.023
Abstract: Poliovirus and rotavirus share notable similarities. Although rotavirus is not amenable to eradication because of animal reservoirs, live, attenuated oral vaccines have been the bedrock of both prevention and control programs, providing intestinal and humoral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2019.10.034
Abstract: Several live vaccines may have beneficial non-specific effects (NSEs) reducing mortality more than can be explained by the prevention of the target infection, a phenomenon which has been linked to innate immune training. Most randomised… read more here.
