What Have We Learned From the Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program?

---

The Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program (TSAP) was established in 2009 to fill the data void concerning invasive Salmonella
disease in sub-Saharan Africa, and to specifically estimate the burden of bloodstream infections caused by the key pathogen,
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. TSAP has achieved this ambitious target, finding high incidences of typhoid fever in both rural
and urban populations in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The results of TSAP will undoubtedly dictate the direction of
future typhoid fever research in Africa, and at last provides a key piece of the disease burden jigsaw puzzle. With the dawn of
new Vi conjugate vaccines against Salmonella Typhi, the next priority for the typhoid community must be providing the required
data on these vaccines so they can be licensed and provided to those in high-risk groups and locations across sub-Saharan Africa
