RSV severe infection risk stratification in a French 5-year birth cohort using machine learning
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) poses a substantial threat to infants, often leading to challenges in hospital capacity. With recent pharmaceutical developments to be used during the prenatal and perinatal periods aimed at decreasing the RSV burden, there is a pressing need to identify infants at risk of severe disease. Using machine learning techniques, the aim…

Evolution of respiratory viruses: the B/Yamagata virus lineage
A characteristic of respiratory viruses is their ability to continue circulating despite the accumulated population immunity due to infections, and in the case of influenza, the use of vaccines. A genetic bottlenecking due to case reduction during the COVID-19 pandemic has, however, resulted in reduced genetic diversity of influenza virus, which may greatly impact vaccine…
