Post-Pubertal Females Versus Males Immunized with PfSPZ Vaccine Does Not
Translate Into Increased Protective Efficacy
While prior research has shown
differences in the risk of malaria infection and sickness between males and
females, little is known about sex differences in vaccine-induced immunity
to malaria. This study seeks to identify such differences in order to
elucidate important aspects of malaria biology and facilitate development
of improved approaches to malaria vaccination.
Influenza Vaccination During Pregnancy and Risk of
Selected Major Structural Congenital Heart Defects, National Birth Defects
Prevention Study 2006-2011
Although results from studies
of first-trimester influenza vaccination and congenital heart defects
(CHDs) have been reassuring, data are limited for specific CHDs. This study
assessed associations between reported maternal influenza vaccination, 1
month before pregnancy through end of third pregnancy month (P3), and
specific CHDs using data from a multisite, population-based case-control
study.

Timing of Positive Hepatitis C Virus Test Results
During and 1 Year Before Pregnancy
The incidence of hepatitis C
virus (HCV) infection in reproductive-aged adults quadrupled during the
past decade. Hepatitis C can progress to advanced liver disease and be
transmitted perinatally. Highly effective curative hepatitis C treatment is
available but is not recommended in pregnancy. Using the Surveillance for
Emerging Threats to Mothers and Babies Network, this study describes timing
of positive RNA testing among pregnant people with HCV (HCV RNA detected
during or within one year prior to pregnancy).
