Global, regional, and national disease burden estimates of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in children younger than 5 years in 2019: a systematic analysis

You Li et al.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) plays a significant role in morbidity and mortality burden globally in children aged 0-60 months, especially during the first 6 months of life and in low-income and middle-income countries. Passive immunization programs targeting RSV could have a substantial effect on reducing disease burden.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Neutralizing Antibodies at Birth Predict Protection from RSV Illness in Infants in the First 3 Months of Life

Andrea G. Buchwald et al.

Summary: This study showed that maternally transferred RSV antibodies were associated with protection of infants against RSV illnesses, and RSV titers in cord blood could predict the risk of infection in infants.

Inferring high-resolution human mixing patterns for disease modeling

Dina Mistry et al.

Summary: Mathematical and computational modeling approaches are increasingly used in analyzing and predicting infectious disease epidemics. A data-driven approach has been proposed to generate effective population-level contact matrices, improving the realism in addressing complex public health questions.

Epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus in a community birth cohort of infants in the first 2 years of life

Mari D. Takashima et al.

Summary: RSV is a common virus in children, with a high incidence in the community setting. Most infections are symptomatic and managed within the community. The incidence increases with age and childcare attendance, with the highest rates in autumn.

Estimation of the Timing and Intensity of Reemergence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Following the COVID-19 Pandemic in the US

Zhe Zheng et al.

Summary: This study found that virus introduction from external sources was associated with the spring and summer epidemics in 2021. Pediatric departments should be alert to large RSV outbreaks in the coming seasons, the intensity of which could depend on the size of the spring and summer epidemic in that location. Enhanced surveillance is recommended for both prophylaxis administration and hospital capacity management.

Summary: The study found that both maternal RSV vaccine and mAb could effectively reduce RSV hospitalizations in New Zealand, with seasonal mAb showing a greater impact on disease prevention.

Community factors associated with local epidemic timing of respiratory syncytial virus: A spatiotemporal modeling study

Zhe Zheng et al.

Summary: The study found that respiratory syncytial virus epidemics exhibit spatial-temporal variability, with earlier epidemics associated with larger household size and higher population density. Nearby localities had similar epidemic timings, suggesting that epidemics grow faster in areas with more local contact opportunities and follow a spatial diffusion process based on geographic proximity.

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of RSV infant and maternal immunization programs: A case study of Nunavik, Canada

Shokoofeh Nourbakhsh et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of immunization programs with new generations of RSV prophylactics in reducing hospitalizations in Nunavik, a Canadian Arctic region. Results showed that the new prophylactics, such as LAMA and maternal vaccines, could lead to significant cost savings while maintaining effectiveness in reducing hospitalizations.
