Abstract

The primary objective of this Scoping Review is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the meteorological and air quality factors which may influence pneumococcal dynamics. We also aim to capture any geographic or demographic variability in effects as well as any experimental evidence for biological changes in pneumococcal dynamics related to meteorological or air quality factors.
