Incidence, Complications, and Quality of Life in Adults ≥ 60 Years Old With Laboratory‐Confirmed RSV Infections Attended in Primary Care and in Hospitals: A Study Over Three Seasons in Valladolid, Spain

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in adults ≥ 60 years significantly affects health, particularly in those with comorbidities. Despite evidence on disease burden, data on quality of life (QoL) and complications after infection remain scarce.

Skin Microbiome Variation Among Hosts and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection in Hyla meridionalis and Pelophylax perezi

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a key driver of global amphibian declines. The amphibian skin microbiome, which may include Bd‐inhibitory bacteria, plays a crucial role in defence against infection, influencing host susceptibility and disease outcome.

Impact of Routine Respiratory Pathogen Panel Test on Outcome of Pediatric Oncology Patients With Febrile Neutropenia

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric oncology patients, especially during neutropenia. While bacterial infections are traditionally considered the primary cause of febrile neutropenia, the growing use of respiratory pathogen panels (RPPs) for viral detection in children has not been extensively ...

Diversity of Rhinovirus and Enterovirus Infections Among Pediatric Patients Hospitalized in Wisconsin, 2022–2023

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Severe rhinovirus (RV)/enterovirus (EV) respiratory infections in pediatric patients increased in the US during 2022–2023. This study aimed to characterize RV/EV genetic diversity among hospitalized children in Wisconsin and describe demographic and clinical factors of patients by RV/EV type.

Genome-based prediction of cross-protective, HLA-DR-presented epitopes as putative vaccine antigens for multiple Bordetella species

Microbiology Spectrum
Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against severe pertussis, but vaccine-induced immunity wanes over time. Prior animal studies showed that T-cell responses are integral to long-lasting immunity.
