Grant Activity:
Innovative public health interventions to control the global burden of Strep A disease
Purpose:
Strep A causes over 500,000 deaths in the world each year, especially due to rheumatic heart disease. Scabies is a major driver of Strep A skin infection in our region.
I propose to tackle the problem with 2 innovative approaches. First, I will test new vaccines using a human model of Strep A infection and in a large clinical trial. Second, I will investigate how mass treatment for scabies can impact on Strep A skin infection and rheumatic heart disease, and I will test new drugs and diagnostics.
