Alternative Title
Une étude séro-épidémiologique de l' infection à méningocoque du sérogroupe A dans la ceinture africaine de la méningite
Description
The dataset contains results of a cross-sectional survey of meningococcal carriage and immunity performed in several countries of the African meningitis belt in 2010. A standardised enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for measuring meningococcal serogroup A IgG antibodies was used to measure antibody concentrations in 3930 individuals. Anonymised information on the age, sex, residence, carriage status and other risk factors is included.

Description of data capture | Cross-sectional meningococcal carriage surveys were conducted in seven countries across the meningitis belt between July 1st 2010 and December 31st 2010. Subjects were selected randomly from within populations which were part of a routine demographic survey system (DHSS) or in which a census had recently been performed. The study population was recruited from urban and rural populations and stratified into four age groups: < 5 years, 5-14 years, 15-29 years and 30 years or older. A short questionnaire collecting demographic details and information on potential risk factors was completed for each participant and each household recruited. Blood samples were collected from the first 100 subjects surveyed within each of the four age bands in both urban and rural study sites, giving an overall target of 800 samples per country. This target was achieved, except in Senegal where there was some resistance to the collection of blood samples. A 5 mL sample was collected, serum separated within six hours of collection and then stored at -20°C until assayed. | ||||||||||||||||||||
