Single-dose hepatitis A immunization: 7.5-year observational pilot study in Nicaraguan children to assess protective effectiveness and humoral immune... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Universal 2-dose hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccination of toddlers effectively controls hepatitis A. High vaccine costs, however, impede implementation in endemic countries. To test single-d
The influence of HIV on the evolution of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
HIV significantly affects the immunological environment during tuberculosis co-infection, and therefore may influence the selective landscape upon which M. tuberculosis evolves. To test this hypothesi
A genome-wide meta-analysis of genetic variants associated with allergic rhinitis and grass sensitization and their interaction with birth order (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Hay fever or seasonal allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic disorder associated with IgE sensitization to grass. The underlying genetic variants have not been studied comprehensively. There
Differences in indoor versus outdoor concentrations of ultrafine particles, PM2.5, PMabsorbance and NO2 in Swiss homes (Publications)
Indoor air quality is a growing concern as we spend the majority of time indoors and as new buildings are increasingly airtight for energy saving purposes. For a better understanding of residential in
Genetic heterogeneity of asthma phenotypes identified by a clustering approach (Publications)
The aim was to identify genetic variants associated with refined asthma phenotypes enabling to take into account multiple features of the disease.Latent class analysis (LCA) was applied in 3001 adults
