Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

TL;DR: Across three RSV seasons, lasting from the week ending July 5, 2014 through July 1, 2017, the median RSV onset occurred at week 41 (mid-October), and lasted 31 weeks until week 18 (early May), and the median national peak occurred at weeks 5 (early February), which differed from those reported from previous seasons.

TL;DR: During the 2015–2016 season, RSV infection was associated with one-third of ARI hospitalizations in the study population of young children, suggesting that all young children could benefit from targeted interventions against RSV.

TL;DR: Management of RSV remains centered around prophylaxis with the monoclonal antibody palivizumab, which has proven effective in reducing RSV hospitalization in preterm infants, children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and infants with hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease.

Cell

TL;DR: The 3.2-Å cryo-EM structure of RSV L bound to tetrameric P reveals a striking tentacular arrangement of P, with each of the four monomers adopting a distinct conformation, which provides a framework for determining the molecular underpinnings ofRSV replication and transcription and should facilitate the design of effective RSV inhibitors.

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.
