A mathematical model to describe haemophilus influenzae type B within Western Australia
… likely to have on the incidence of Haemophllus influenzae Type B (HIB) and systematic HIB in Western Australia. There was a significant effort made to collect data pertinent to the estimation of parameter values but since HIB has only been a notifiable disease since 1992, there was a distinct …

The development of physico-chemical quality control methods for Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine production
The development of a low cost Haemophilus influenzaetype b (Hib) manufacturing platform at The Biovac Institute (TBI) required analytical method development in parallel with the production process development. Technology transfer enabled TBI to develop Hib vaccine production which could lead to the …
