STopping Acute Rheumatic Fever Infections to Strengthen Health (STARFISH) brings together a diverse and multidisciplinary research team to investigate the most effective environmental health initiatives (EHIs) aimed at reducing Strep A infections and prevent Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF).
The Strep A Burden of Disease Working Group (BoDWG) was first established in 2020 through the Strep A Global Vaccine Consortium (SAVAC).
