the rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP vaccineEXPERIMENTALParticipants of the experimental arm will receive a single intramuscular dose of ≥7.8 x 107 pfu of the rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP vaccine. In total, 80 participants will receive the experimental vaccine: 40 participants aged 6-12 years and 40 aged 1-5 years.
The Chikenpox or Varicella (Varilix) vaccineACTIVE_COMPARATORThe control arm consists of the chickenpox vaccine. Forty children will receive a single subcutaneous dose of Varilix, the active comparator vaccine, 20 aged 6-12 years and 20 aged 1-5 years
Fibre and equilibrate dietEXPERIMENTALParticipants were assigned to receive two meals daily ( breakfast and lunch) for 21 days. About 30 children are randomly assigned to fibre and equilibrate diet.
Active detection and treatment of pathogens according to standard of careEXPERIMENTALThe following pathogens: P. falciparum, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, intestinal protozoa, BG+, BG- colonies and pathogens, SARS-CoV2 are actively detected and treated according to the standard of care every month. About 30 children are randomly assigned to this arm.
Diet plus Active detection and treatment of pathogens according to standard of careEXPERIMENTALParticipants were assigned to receive two meals daily ( breakfast and lunch) for 21 days and concomitantly assigned to active detection of P. falciparum, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, intestinal protozoa, BG+, BG- colonies and pathogens, SARS-CoV2 every month. About 30 children are assigned to receive combined interventions
No diet and no pathogen detectionPLACEBO_COMPARATORAbout 30 children received no diet and no active detection of pathogens
