Epidemiology of lower respiratory tract infections in adults
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2019 Introduction: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the leading infectious disease cause of death in the world and the fifth overall cause of death. From an epidemiological point of view, most consider pneumonia, influenza, bronchitis (including

, 2007 The chapter describes different aspects of the respiratory tract. In preclinical safety studies, pathologies of the respiratory system can be a result of an intercurrent disease or can be induced by systemically administered drugs. Intranasal or inhalation modes of therapy pose particular challenges in terms of the formulations and technologies ...

Allergic aspergillosis of the respiratory tract [PDF]
European Respiratory Review, 2014 Aspergillus , a genus of spore forming fungi found worldwide, affects the respiratory tract in many ways [1, 2]. The spores of this ubiquitous mould are dispersed by wind in the atmosphere and inhalation is the primary route of access in almost all forms of aspergillosis.

Picobirnaviruses in the Human Respiratory Tract
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 TO THE EDITOR: Picobirnaviruses (family Picobirnaviridae) are nonenveloped, double-stranded RNA viruses of vertebrates with a bisegmented genome. Segment 1 (2.2-2.7 kb) encodes the capsid protein, and segment 2 (1.2-1.9 kb) encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
