The interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with co-circulating pathogens: Epidemiological implications and current knowledge gaps [PDF]
Despite the availability of effective vaccines, the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 suggests that co-circulation with other pathogens and resulting multi-epidemics may become increasingly frequent. To better forecast and control the risk of such multi-epidemics, it is essential to elucidate the potential interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with other pathogens; these
