MARCO, an innate activation marker of macrophages, is a class A scavenger receptor for Neisseria meningitidis. by Mukhopadhyay, S, Chen, Y, Sankala, M, Peiser, L, Pikkarainen, T, Kraal, G, Tryggvason, K, Gordon, S

“…The scavenger receptor-A I/II (SR-A) and macrophage receptor with collagenous domain (MARCO) share a common domain organisation and ligand repertoire, including selected polyanions and gram-positive and -negative organisms, but differ in fine specificity of ligand binding, tissue distribution and regulation. Neisseria meningitidis (NM) is a selective ligand for SR-A, but there is evidence for an additional SR-A-independent, polyanion-sensitive component for NM recognition. …”

Identifying optimal vaccination strategies for serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis conjugate vaccine in the African meningitis belt. by Sara Tartof, Amanda Cohn, Félix Tarbangdo, Mamoudou H Djingarey, Nancy Messonnier, Thomas A Clark, Jean Ludovic Kambou, Ryan Novak, Fabien V K Diomandé, Isaïe Medah, Michael L Jackson

“…The optimal long-term vaccination strategies to provide population-level protection against serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis (MenA) are unknown. We developed an age-structured mathematical model of MenA transmission, colonization, and disease in the African meningitis belt, and used this model to explore the impact of various vaccination strategies.The model stratifies the simulated population into groups based on age, infection status, and MenA antibody levels. …”

Commensal Neisseria cinerea impairs Neisseria meningitidis microcolony development and reduces pathogen colonisation of epithelial cells. by Rafael Custodio, Errin Johnson, Guangyu Liu, Christoph M Tang, Rachel M Exley

“…Consequently, there is a need to understand how commensals interact with their human host and influence pathogen behaviour at epithelial surfaces. Neisseria meningitidis, a leading cause of sepsis and meningitis, exclusively colonises the human nasopharynx and shares this niche with several other Neisseria species, including the commensal Neisseria cinerea. …”
