Household Transmission of Rotavirus in a Community with Rotavirus Vaccination in Quininde, Ecuador
Openalex
Resumen
Transmission rates of rotavirus are high in households with an infected child, while background infections are rare. We have identified factors associated with transmission (vomiting/young age of index case) and susceptibility (young age/sharing a room/being a sibling of the index case). Vaccination may lead to indirect benefits by averting episodes or reducing symptoms in vaccinees.
