Modeling the Influence of Environment and Intervention on Cholera in Haiti [PDF]

, 2014
We propose a simple model with two infective classes in order to model the cholera epidemic in Haiti. We include the impact of environmental events (rainfall, temperature and tidal range) on the epidemic in the Artibonite and Ouest regions by introducing

Keeping Pneumonia's Vaccines Effective

Chemistry & Biology, 2010
Streptococcus pneumoniae certainly can't be trusted. Rather than live in the soil or on kitchen counters, this microbe makes its home among neighborly bacteria inhabiting the nasopharynx of preschool children. Most of the time, colonies hang around for a while and then harmlessly disappear. Other times, S.

Multigenerational Effects of Smallpox Vaccination

, 2021
Can the effects of childhood vaccination extend across three generations? Using Swedish data spanning 250 years, we estimate the impact of smallpox vaccination on longevity, disability, and occupational achievements. Employing mother fixed-effects, difference-in-differences, and shift-share instrumental-variables designs, we find that vaccination ...
