EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
Since 2019, the Typhoidland team has worked with leading clinical, vaccine, and microbiological researchers to develop a set of award-winning interactive educational resources on typhoid, infection control, antibiotics, and vaccine design. Explore our different resource themes below and download our free educational material.
Typhoid fever has been around for millennia and continues to cause many cases and deaths every year. However, the past 200 years have also seen dramatic changes in the way we can control infectious diseases like typhoid. Find out how typhoid spreads and read about the scientific breakthroughs leading to effective sanitation, vaccines, and antibiotics.
Antibiotics have played a vital role in reducing deaths from typhoid infections. However, human antibiotic use is selecting for typhoid bacteria that are increasingly resistant to the antibiotics we use. Watch our animations and read our posters on the science and use of antibiotics in disease control and the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Would you infect yourself to help science? In human challenge studies, healthy volunteers are deliberately exposed to bacteria and viruses to analyse the biological mechanics of an infection and to test new vaccines and treatments. Learn more about how challenge studies work, why people participate them, and current trials at the University of Oxford.”
