Statistical Analysis of Common Respiratory Viruses Reveals the Binary of Virus-Virus Interaction.

ABSTRACT: Respiratory viruses may interfere with each other and affect the epidemic trend of the virus. However, the understanding of the interactions between respiratory viruses at the population level is still very limited. We here conducted a prospective laboratory-based etiological study by enrolling 14,426 patients suffered from acute respiratory infection (ARI) in Beijing, China during 2005 to 2015. All 18 respiratory viruses were simultaneously tested for each nasal and throat swabs collected from enrolled patients using molecular tests. The virus correlations were quantitatively evaluated, and the respiratory viruses could be divided into two panels according to the positive and negative correlations. One included influenza viruses (IFVs) A, B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), while th
