Advances in RSV vaccine development

April 2018 - Advances in knowledge of the structural biology of the RSV surface fusion (F) glycoprotein have revolutionized RSV vaccine development by providing a new target for preventive interventions. It is explained in this video, which was made by Djonie Jacobsen; Nienke Mombarg and Charlotte Wiersma, students from De Streek school in Ede, The Netherlands.

PAPER OF THE MONTH

RESPIRATORY VIRAL EPIDEMIOLOGY IN RURAL kENIA

NYRIO JU, MUNYWOKI K, KAMAU E, AGOTI C, GICHUKI A, ETYANG T,  OTIENO G, NOKES DJ. 
​
This paper reports the epidemiological data of respiratory viruses at nine outpatient health facilities in rural coastal Kenya as well as in hospital settings. More than half (53.7%) of participants with ARI symptoms were from children younger than 5 years. The most common respiratory viruses detected were rhinovirus, influenza virus, coronavirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenovirus. In hospital settings with young children admitted to hospitals, the frequency of RSV and adenovirus was significantly higher, indicating they were more commonly associated with severe disease. More data tracking temporality and seasonality of viral prevalence over multiple years as well as discussion on viral co-infections would strengthen the evidence.
