On the epidemiology, clinical presentation and transmission of respiratory viral infections

Nicklas Sundell

TL;DR: The incidence of influenza and several other respiratory viruses are strongly associated with low outdoor temperature and low absolute humidity and the prevalence of respiratory viruses in asymptomatic adults is low, suggesting that a positive detection by PCR is likely of clinical relevance when symptoms of respiratory tract infection are present.

Using Proximity Sensors To Characterize Social Contact Patterns Relevant To The Transmission Of Respiratory Viruses In Schools And Households.

Moses C. Kiti

TL;DR: A framework is proposed for an agent-based model that can be used in future to investigate the implications of observed intra- and inter-household interaction patterns on the transmission dynamics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015, finding several countries in sub-Saharan Africa had very large gains in life expectancy, rebounding from an era of exceedingly high loss of life due to HIV/AIDS.

TL;DR: Mortality data suggest that RSV is an important cause of death in childhood from ALRI, after pneumococcal pneumonia and Haemophilus influenzae type b, and the development of novel prevention and treatment strategies should be accelerated as a priority.
