 Meningococcal
meningitis is a serious infection caused by the
gram negative diplococcus Neisseria Meningitidis.
It is found worldwide but special climactic conditions
in the arid Sahel Savanna belt of Africa predispose
to periodic large-scale epidemics. The region extending
from Senegal in the West to Ethiopia in the East is
designated the "African meningitis belt".
