Cost-effectiveness of strategies for preventing paediatric lower respiratory infections associated with respiratory syncytial virus in eight Chinese cities
2021, VaccineCitation Excerpt :Third, we only included cities across different regions where the SARI surveillance was inaugurated in China. Previous studies have shown that RSV activity is: (1) highest during winter, correlating with lower temperatures in temperate regions; and (2) continuous throughout the year in tropical regions with a peak between summer to early autumn, mainly driven by the high humidity [26]. However, RSV seasonal patterns can be more diverse in subtropical regions (most regions in southern China) and can vary from year to year even in the same city.
Different meteorological parameters influence metapneumovirus and respiratory syncytial virus activity
2018, Journal of Clinical VirologyCitation Excerpt :Community RSV activity was recorded in geographic locations with varying climates (warm and wet, warm and dry, cold and wet, cold and dry or intermediate weather conditions). RSV activity and temperature had a bimodal relationship, with peaks of activity at temperatures of 2−6° C and above 24–30 °C [10,12]. In the Netherlands, peaks of RSV activity were observed at temperatures around 5.6° C and 88.4% relative humidity [9], which is similar to the results we obtained in our study.
Respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis, weather conditions and air pollution in an Italian urban area: An observational study
2017, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :Another major climatic factor that in our study correlates with RSV activity is relative humidity. Many studies have underlined the association of increased humidity and RSV, hCoV and PIV3 detection rates (Cui et al., 2015; Vandini et al., 2015; Welliver, 2009). These observations support a previous finding that high average humidity (80%) favored virus survival (Cui et al., 2015; Tang and Loh, 2014; Vandini et al., 2015).
