TL;DR: The global number of deaths during the first 12 months of virus circulation in each country and the estimate of respiratory and cardiovascular mortality associated with the 2009 pandemic influenza A H1N1 was 15 times higher than reported laboratory-confirmed deaths.

TL;DR: The use of nonpharmaceutical interventions such as lockdowns and border closures is not currently recommended for pandemic influenza control New Zealand used these NPIs to eliminate coronavirus disease 2019 during its first wave using multiple surveillance systems, and observed a parallel and unprecedented reduction of influenza and other respiratory viral infections in 2020.

TL;DR: This study provides a starting point for the selection of a purification method in future virus discovery studies, and highlights the need for more data to validate the effect of enrichment methods on different sample types, amplification, bioinformatics approaches and sequencing platforms.

TL;DR: This systematic analysis aims to update RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection morbidity and mortality at global, regional, and national levels in children aged 0–60 months for 2019, with focus on overall mortality and narrower infant age groups that are targeted by RSV prophylactics in development.

TL;DR: Fundamental differences in the phylodynamics of the two co-circulating lineages of influenza B virus are revealed, showing that their individual dynamics are determined by a complex relationship between virus transmission, age of infection, and receptor binding preference.
