Case-control investigation of invasive salmonella disease in malawi reveals no evidence of environmental or animal transmission of invasive strains, and supports human to human transmission

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

Although they might be transmitted in a zoonotic fashion (analogous with diarrhoeal disease in HICs), previous household or food-chain studies have failed to find any evidence to link the NTS strains responsible for invasive disease with either domestic animals or with food production, while disease case-control studies have established genomic links between isolates from cases and from their healthy household family-members. To address the knowledge gap concerning the reservoirs and transmission of NTS Salmonella strains responsible for invasive Salmonella infections, the authors conducted a cross-sectional case-control study following iNTS . . .
