Otieno, James Richard; Nokes, David James, 2017, "Replication Data for: Molecular Evolutionary Dynamics of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Group A in Recurrent Epidemics in Coastal Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MNSYNF, Harvard Dataverse, V1
The data is from an on-going study aimed at understanding the epidemiology and disease burden of RSV-associated pneumonia cases in Kilifi. This report details the evolutionary dynamics of RSV-A genotype in Kilifi. Respiratory swab samples (combined nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal) were collected from January 2000 to December 2012 from: (i) LRTI ca... |

Kamau, Everlyn; Nokes, David James, 2017, "Replication Data for: Recent sequence variation in probe binding site affected detection of respiratory syncytial virus group B by real-time RT-PCR", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/B2PT24, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset comprises of Nucleotide sequences used to match primers and probes, and for phylogenetic inferences. A total of 168 N and G gene sequences deposited in Genbank with accession numbers from KX775772 - KX775940. This data is freely available. In our analysis, we observed inconsistencies between two routine RSV diagnostic methods applied i... |

Otieno, James Richard; Nokes, David James, 2017, "Replication Data for: Spread and Evolution of Respiratory Syncytial Virus A Genotype ON1, Coastal Kenya, 2010-2015", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ZLNI4V, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:bRvaY2VwmK/lQuSSXtRi4A== [fileUNF]
The data is from an on-going study aimed at understanding the epidemiology and disease burden of RSV-associated pneumonia cases in Kilifi. This study was specifically interested in the introduction, spread and evolution of the novel RSV-A genotype ON1 in Kilifi. Respiratory swab samples (combined nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal) were collected fro... |

Kazungu, Jacob S.; Adetifa, Ifedayo, 2017, "Replication Data for: Crude childhood vaccination coverage in West Africa: trends and predictors of completeness", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/YQYES9, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Africa currently has the lowest childhood vaccination coverage worldwide. If the full benefits of childhood vaccination programmes are to be enjoyed in sub-Saharan Africa, all countries need to improve on delivery of vaccines to achieve and sustain high coverage. In this paper, we reviewed trends in vaccination coverage, dropouts rates and explored... |

We have had a major input in evaluating the effectiveness and wider impact of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) in Kenya, including studies of the effect on carriage, invasive disease, burden of pneumonia and pathogen structure. We are expanding our platform of surveillance to incorporate assessments of the safety of EPI vaccines, direct a... |
Nokes, David james; Scott, John Anthony G.; Nyiro, Joyce Uchi, 2016, "Replication Data for: Absence of Association between Cord Specific Antibody Levels and Severe Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Disease in Early Infants: A Case Control Study from Coastal Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FOIUHT, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:2aPIb7AM6ZBUQgMtdADXzw== [fileUNF]
This dataset was generated from a study nested within a previous Kilifi Birth Cohort (KBC) study, conducted between 1999 and 2007 at KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme, KEMRI CGMR-C, Kilifi, Kenya. The KBC resulted in an archive of cord and three-monthly follow-up sera from infants. The nested study involved selection from this dataset cases d... |
Munywoki, Patrick K.; Nokes, David J., 2016, "Replication Data for: Quantification and determinants of the amount of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) shed using real time PCR data from a longitudinal household study.", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MOTEJH, Harvard Dataverse, V5, UNF:6:SbaZDgXIVZjoBPumTaRjcw== [fileUNF]
The RSV infection data arise from an intensively followed cohort of 47 households with 493 occupants in rural coastal Kenya. The details of the study have been described elsewhere (13,17,18). In summary, throughout an RSV season spanning 26 weeks (December 2009-June 2010), nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) were collected by trained field assistants every... |
