About this ebook

Rotavirus Threat offers a comprehensive examination of rotavirus, a leading cause of diarrheal disease in infants and young children globally. The book emphasizes the critical role of vaccination in mitigating the virus's devastating impact, particularly in low-income countries. Before effective vaccines, most children contracted rotavirus before age five; now, widespread vaccination is seen as a cost-effective public health intervention. The book traces the journey from identifying rotavirus to developing life-saving vaccines, addressing vaccine hesitancy and equitable access.

The book explores rotavirus virology and epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and vaccine development. It presents complex scientific information in an accessible manner, drawing on peer-reviewed publications, epidemiological data, and clinical trial results. Rotavirus Threat progresses logically, beginning with the characteristics of rotavirus, detailing clinical presentations, focusing on vaccines' mechanisms and impact, and concluding with future directions for prevention and control.
