Description

Chlamydial and Gonococcal Infection: Immunobiology in the Female Reproductive Tract combines the work carried out in cohort studies of Nairobi female sex workers, and aims to examine the role of mucosal and systemic immune responses in mediating resistance and susceptibility to gonococcal and chlamydial infection and disease; and to examine how these two infections alter women's immune responses to other STI.
