TL;DR: In this article , the authors used a plaque reduction neutralization (PRN) assay to evaluate the efficiency of transplacental transfer of RSV-specific antibodies in a setting with a high burden of malaria and HIV.

TL;DR: The causes of epidemics of rotavirus, a major, global endemic virus, are investigated, with implications for childhood vaccination and the risk of future, widespread pandemics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a mechanistic mathematical model to explain the first two distinct waves by differences in contact rates in high and low social-economic groups, and the third wave by the introduction of a new higher-transmissibility variant.

TL;DR: In this paper , a survey-based study of RSV infection in young children disproportionately occurs in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), and seven key actions for improving RSV prevention and management in LMICs are proposed.

TL;DR: An analysis of 295 RSV group B genomes from Kilifi, coastal Kenya, sampled from individuals seeking outpatient care in nine health facilities across a defined geographical area, identified a cluster of viruses that emerged in the 2016/17 epidemic, carrying distinct amino-acid signatures including a novel nonsynonymous change in antigenic site ∅ in the Fusion protein.
