Background: While previous reports characterised global and regional variations in RSV seasonality, less is known about local variations in RSV seasonal characteristics. This study aimed to understand the local-level variations in RSV seasonality and to explore the role of geographical, meteorological, and socio-demographic factors in explaining these variations.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review to identify published studies reporting data on local-level RSV season onset, offset, or duration for at least two local sites.

Background: In this phase 3 trial of an investigational maternal respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F protein-based vaccine (RSVPreF3-Mat), a higher rate of preterm birth was observed in the vaccine (6.8%) versus the placebo group (4.9%).

Exposure to influenza A virus (IAV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is well-known to increase the risk of pneumonia in humans. Type I interferon (IFN-I) is a hallmark response to acute viral infections, and alveolar macrophages (AMs) constitute the first line of airway defense against opportunistic bacteria. Our study reveals that virus-induced IFN-I receptor (IFNAR1) signaling directly impairs AM-dependent antibacterial protection.

The mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear. We analyzed blood samples from infants (median age 2.

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV) is a major cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. The recent approval of recombinant protein-based hRSV vaccines represents significant progress in combating hRSV. However, these vaccines utilized optimized preF ectodomain attached with an exogenous trimeric motif, which may induce immunological complications.
