Infants hospitalized for Bordetella pertussis infection commonly have respiratory viral coinfections [PDF]
Background: Whether viral coinfections cause more severe disease than Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) alone remains unclear. We compared clinical disease severity and sought clinical and demographic differences between infants with B.

An Anti-Human ICAM-1 Antibody Inhibits Rhinovirus-Induced Exacerbations of Lung Inflammation [PDF]
Human rhinoviruses (HRV) cause the majority of common colds and acute exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Effective therapies are urgently needed, but no licensed treatments or vaccines currently exist.

Mouse models of rhinovirus-induced disease and exacerbation of allergic airway inflammation [PDF]
Rhinoviruses cause serious morbidity and mortality as the major etiological agents of asthma exacerbations and the common cold. A major obstacle to understanding disease pathogenesis and to the development of effective therapies has been the lack of a ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Disgust sensitivity is not associated with health in a rural Bangladeshi sample. [PDF]
Disgust can be considered a psychological arm of the immune system that acts to prevent exposure to infectious agents. High disgust sensitivity is associated with greater behavioral avoidance of disease vectors and thus may reduce infection risk. A cross-

A semiconductor‐fabricated nanowell biosensor enables rapid, scalable, and highly reproducible detection of SARS‐CoV‐2 antigens from nasal swabs within ∼10 minutes. Clinical validation in 249 retrospective and 243 prospective patient samples demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity, minimal cross‐reactivity, and robust batch‐to‐batch ...
