Serotype C

 

 


Serotype C is found in South America, Africa and Asia. It is characterised by sporadic outbreaks and subsequent disappearance from an area for a variable time. In recent years, only in the Philippines has it been associated with a continuous series of outbreaks since its introduction there in 1976. However, there have been no recorded outbreaks in the Philippines due to type C since 1995.
