Impact of the 2009 influenza pandemic on pneumococcal pneumonia hospitalizations in the United StatesDaniel M Weinberger
Division of International Epidemiology and Population Studies, Fogarty International Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
J Infect Dis 205:458-65. 2012..Infection with influenza virus increases the risk for developing pneumococcal disease. The A/H1N1 influenza pandemic in autumn 2009 provided a unique opportunity to evaluate this relationship...
Serotype replacement in disease after pneumococcal vaccinationDaniel M Weinberger
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA
Lancet 378:1962-73. 2011..We conclude by discussing the future potential for serotype replacement in disease and the need for continuing surveillance...
Pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide structure predicts serotype prevalenceDaniel M Weinberger
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA
PLoS Pathog 5:e1000476. 2009....
Prediction of serotypes causing invasive pneumococcal disease in unvaccinated and vaccinated populationsDaniel M Weinberger
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Harvard School of Public Health, 665 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Epidemiology 22:199-207. 2011..We sought to develop a statistical tool to predict the relative frequency of different serotypes among disease isolates in the pre- and post-Prevnar-7 eras using the limited amount of data that is widely available...
Estimating rates of carriage acquisition and clearance and competitive ability for pneumococcal serotypes in Kenya with a Markov transition modelMarc Lipsitch
Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics and Department of Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Epidemiology 23:510-9. 2012..Animal studies suggest that carriage induces an acquired immune response that reduces duration of colonization in a nonserotype-specific fashion...
Broad antibody and T cell reactivity induced by a pneumococcal whole-cell vaccineKristin L Moffitt
Division of Infectious Diseases, Children s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School, 300 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Vaccine 30:4316-22. 2012..Further, all these 20 strains elicited IL-17A in T cells of WCV-vaccinated mice, a cytokine known to accelerate pneumococcal clearance. Thus WCV induced both humoral and T(H)17 cell-mediated immunity against all tested strains...
Epidemiologic evidence for serotype-specific acquired immunity to pneumococcal carriageDaniel M Weinberger
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Infect Dis 197:1511-8. 2008..We found no evidence of specific protection for type 6B, group 15, or type 19F. Our findings imply that at least some serotypes generate anti-capsular antibodies that can reduce the risk of carriage in unimmunized toddlers...
Association of serotype with risk of death due to pneumococcal pneumonia: a meta-analysisDaniel M Weinberger
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Clin Infect Dis 51:692-9. 2010..We evaluated whether risk of death due to IPD is a stable serotype-associated property across studies and then compared the pooled effect estimates with epidemiologic and biological correlates...
Influenza epidemics in Iceland over 9 decades: changes in timing and synchrony with the United States and EuropeDaniel M Weinberger
Division of International Epidemiology and Population Studies, Fogarty International Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Am J Epidemiol 176:649-55. 2012..This suggests that transportation might have a minor effect on epidemic timing, but efforts to restrict air travel during influenza epidemics would likely have a limited impact, even for island populations...
