Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers analyzed data from migrants collected in Sicily between February 2021 and May 2022, using advanced molecular techniques to identify and categorize various SARS-CoV-2 variants present among the population.
  • * The findings revealed 472 full-length virus sequences, identified 12 clades and 31 lineages, and demonstrated the potential of this molecular surveillance to predict emerging variants, which can help shape vaccination and public health strategies.

Several respiratory pathogens are responsible for influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe respiratory infections (SARI), among which human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) represents one of the most common aetiologies. We analysed the hRSV prevalence among subjects with ILI or SARI during the five influenza seasons before the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Sicily (Italy). Respiratory specimens from ILI outpatients and SARI inpatients were collected in the framework of the Italian Network for the Influenza Surveillance and molecularly tested for hRSV-A and hRSV-B.
