Influenza virus inhibits respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection via a two-wave expression of interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide (IFIT) proteins
Abstract:Influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are respiratory viruses that primarily circulate worldwide during the autumn and winter seasons. Seasonal surveillance shows that RSV infection generally precedes influenza. However, in the last four winter seasons (2016-2020) an overlap of the morbidity peaks of both viruses was observed in Israel, and was paralleled by significantly lower RSV infection rates. To investigate whether the influenza virus inhibits RSV we performed coinfection of Human cervi… Show more
