Abstract
Extensive NmW-135 carriage and transmission in the epidemic area caused residents to acquire natural immunity. Serial carriage and seroprevalence surveys could establish the duration of immunity in the population. The persistent circulation of NmW-135 underscores the potential for periodic NmW-135 epidemics in Africa.
