Outbreak of Enterovirus D68 in Young Children, Brescia, Italy, August to November 2024
ABSTRACT Enterovirus D68 (EV‐D68) is responsible for a plethora of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic infections to severe respiratory symptoms and neurological disorders. EV‐D68 was first detected in children with pneumonia in 1962 and, from then, only sporadic cases were reported until 2014, when outbreaks were notified across the ...

HRV16 Impairs Macrophages Cytokine Response to a Secondary Bacterial Trigger
Human rhinovirus is frequently seen as an upper respiratory tract infection but growing evidence proves the virus can cause lower respiratory tract infections in patients with chronic inflammatory lung diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Revealing the Shape of Genome Space via K-mer Topology [PDF]
Despite decades of effort, understanding the shape of genome space in biology remains a challenge due to the similarity, variability, diversity, and plasticity of evolutionary relationships among species, genes, or other biological entities. We present a k-mer topology method, the first of its kind, to delineate the shape of the genome space.

Monitoring Macrophage Polarization in Infectious Disease, Lesson From SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection
ABSTRACT The concept of macrophage polarization has been largely used in human diseases to define a typology of activation of myeloid cells reminiscent of lymphocyte functional subsets. In COVID‐19, several studies have investigated myeloid compartment dysregulation and macrophage polarization as an indicator of disease prognosis and monitoring.

Rhinovirus and childhood asthma: an update [PDF]
Asthma is recognized as a complex disease resulting from interactions between multiple genetic and environmental factors. Accumulating evidence suggests that respiratory viral infections in early life constitute a major environmental risk factor for the development of childhood asthma.

Maintaining tight junction integrity significantly contributes to epithelial barrier function. If the barrier function is destroyed, the permeability of the cells increases, and the movement of the pathogens is promoted, thereby further increasing the ...

The Respiratory Tract Microbiome and Human Health
The respiratory tract microbiome (RTM) trains the immune system and protects against infections. Changes in the RTM are linked to various respiratory diseases. High‐throughput methodologies and computational biology can improve our understanding of the RTM, paving the way for new diagnostic tools, treatments and preventive strategies to improve ...

Rhinovirus in acute otitis media
Low positive results were somewhat easier to distinguish by EIA than LA, because the minimal color change produced in the EIA was more apparent than the few agglutinated latex particles in the LA test. However, some of the low positive Abbott Testpack Strep A and Cards Strep A plus and minus endpoints had an irregularly or partially filled vertical ...
