Immunity to Respiratory Viruses [PDF]

open access: possibleAnnual Review of Immunology, 2009
The respiratory tract is characterized by an extensive surface area that is in direct contact with the environment, posing a significant problem for effective immune surveillance. Yet most respiratory pathogens are quickly recognized and controlled by a coordinated response involving the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system.

Eosinophils and Respiratory Viruses

Viral Immunology, 2019
Eosinophils have been mainly associated with parasitic infection and pathologies such as asthma. Some patients with asthma present a high number of eosinophils in their airways. Since respiratory viruses are associated with asthma exacerbations, several studies have evaluated the role of eosinophils against respiratory viruses.

Respiratory viruses and children

Journal of Infection, 2016
Respiratory viruses place a great disease burden especially on the youngest children in terms of high rates of infection, bacterial complications and hospitalizations. In developing countries, some viral infections are even associated with substantial mortality in children.

Respiratory viruses and asthma

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2000
Viral infections have become increasingly recognized as a significant cause of asthma exacerbations, mainly because of improved viral detection techniques. Unfortunately, the ability to specifically treat viral infections and to limit the asthma morbidity associated with these agents has not kept pace with diagnostic technology. This article focuses on

Respiratory viruses in childhood asthma

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2007
Several epidemiological studies have confirmed the association between viral respiratory infections and wheezing episodes or exacerbations of asthma in childhood. In contrast, whether particular viral infections can be protective or able to initiate asthma is still debated; recent studies reported herein have added to our understanding in several ...

Respiratory tract viruses

2010
Viral respiratory infections, including rhinovirus, coronavirus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus, parainfluenza viruses, and influenza viruses, are a substantial cause of morbidity worldwide. Transmission occurs through direct contact, contaminated fomites, and large airborne droplets, with long-range transmission by ...

New Respiratory Viruses of Humans

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2008
Acute respiratory viruses are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans worldwide and most acute respiratory infections are caused by viruses. Many of these viruses cause the highest burden of disease in specific risk groups such as young infants, the elderly, and immune-compromised individuals.

Rapid Enumeration of Respiratory Viruses

Analytical Chemistry, 2002
Virus detection and enumeration has become increasingly important in fields ranging from medicine and biotechnology to environmental science. Although there are a wide variety of techniques that can be used to count viruses, there is demand for a rapid and more accurate means for virus enumeration. In this work, the performance of a flow cytometer that
