Grant Activity:
Is vaccine-induced herd immunity altering the diversity of rotavirus strains in Australia?
Purpose:
Vaccination against rotavirus has reduced the number of children hospitalised with diarrhoea in Australia. However, we have evidence that population-level immunity is leading to changes in the genetic diversity of rotavirus. We have identified rotavirus strains which might evade vaccine protection, including outbreaks of rotavirus diarrhoea despite widespread vaccination. Our project will investigate the evolution of rotavirus strains in Australia and how this is influenced by vaccination.
