Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Disease
  • Bacteria
  • Virus

Jay D. Wenger focuses on Pediatrics, Epidemiology, Incidence, Risk factor and Immunology. His Pediatrics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacterial vaccine, Case-control study and Group B. His work in Group B addresses issues such as Streptococcus, which are connected to fields such as Meningitis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Microbiology, Haemophilus influenzae and Prospective cohort study.

His Epidemiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Listeria, Environmental health, Surgery and Cat-scratch disease. His work in Incidence tackles topics such as Public health which are related to areas like Disease. His work on Neisseria meningitidis expands to the thematically related Immunology.

His most cited work include:

  • Bacterial Meningitis in the United States in 1995 (1140 citations)
  • Decline of Childhood Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib) Disease in the Hib Vaccine Era (584 citations)
  • Cat Scratch Disease in Connecticut -- Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Evaluation of a New Diagnostic Test (414 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Pediatrics, Epidemiology, Vaccination, Virology and Incidence. His Pediatrics research incorporates themes from Bacterial vaccine, Hib vaccine, Case-control study, Disease and Group B. The Epidemiology study combines topics in areas such as Gerontology and Risk factor.

His Virology study incorporates themes from Carriage and Microbiology. The various areas that Jay D. Wenger examines in his Incidence study include Meningitis, Serotype and Haemophilus influenzae. His study focuses on the intersection of Meningitis and fields such as Neisseria meningitidis with connections in the field of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseriaceae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pediatrics (27.13%)
  • Epidemiology (23.26%)
  • Vaccination (21.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Poliomyelitis (17.05%)
  • Virology (20.93%)
  • Serotype (15.50%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Jay D. Wenger mainly investigates Poliomyelitis, Virology, Serotype, Microbiology and Carriage. His Poliomyelitis research incorporates elements of Vaccination, Poliomyelitis eradication, Poliovirus and Environmental health. His work carried out in the field of Serotype brings together such families of science as Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pneumococcal infections and Incidence.

The concepts of his Incidence study are interwoven with issues in Pneumococcal carriage, Odds ratio, Pediatrics and Haemophilus influenzae. Jay D. Wenger combines subjects such as Meningitis, Epiglottitis, Coccobacillus, Disease and Bacterial disease with his study of Haemophilus influenzae. Jay D. Wenger interconnects Epidemiology and Disease transmission in the investigation of issues within Immunology.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Haemophilus influenzae serotype a invasive disease, Alaska, USA, 1983-2011. (53 citations)
  • Poliovirus vaccination options for achieving eradication and securing the endgame. (43 citations)
  • Effect of the 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine on Nasopharyngeal Colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae—Alaska, 2008–2012 (41 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Disease
  • Bacteria
  • Virus

Jay D. Wenger mostly deals with Vaccination, Poliomyelitis, Serotype, Virology and Global health. His Vaccination research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bacterial disease, Coccobacillus and Pediatrics, Epiglottitis. As part of one scientific family, Jay D. Wenger deals mainly with the area of Poliomyelitis, narrowing it down to issues related to the Poliovirus, and often Immunity, Immunogenicity, Humoral immunity and Seroconversion.

His research in Serotype intersects with topics in Meningitis, Incidence, Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pneumococcal infections. His Streptococcus pneumoniae research is within the category of Microbiology. His studies deal with areas such as Carriage, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Immunology and Conjugate vaccine as well as Pneumococcal infections.
