The data from the literature concerning the limited number of influenza A virus variants pathogenic for man are analysed. The possibilities of employing these theoretical concepts for improvement of the methods for virus investigations and epidemiological prognosing of epidemics, as well as the possibilities of creating a species-specific preparation for influenza A prevention are discussed.

Background: Patients with congenital heart defects (CHDs) are at higher risk for infectious diseases. This may partly be due to frequent hospital stays and the associated exposure to pathogens. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of immunisation coverage among twins in which at least one twin has CHD.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes a substantial health burden among infants and older adults. Prefusion F protein-based vaccines have shown high efficacy against RSV disease in clinical trials, offering promise for mitigating this burden through maternal and older adult immunization. Employing an individual-based model, we evaluated the impact of RSV vaccination on hospitalizations and deaths in 13 high-income countries, assuming that the vaccine does not prevent infection or transmission.
