Risk of Transmission and Viral Shedding From the Time of Infection for Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Households

Abstract: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection worldwide. The report of temporal changes in the risk of transmission among close contacts has been scarce. This study aims to examine an association between the viral load trajectory and transmission risk to develop a better control strategy for the disease spread. We conducted a household-based prospective cohort study in Biliran Province, the Philippines, and enrolled 451 participants for observing the development of a… Show more

“…However, the resurgence of RSV in Hokkaido Prefecture in 2021 was observed during a period when a "state of emergency" and "semistate of emergency" had been declared, suggesting that factors other than relaxation of NPIs may have been involved. RSV is primarily transmitted via close contacts and airborne droplets, [21][22][23] and mainly presents young children who have difficulty in performing appropriate infection control measures. 24 Moreover, RSV can be carried asymptomatically, 25 and young children who are unaware of their RSV infection may contribute to viral transmission within households or nurseries.…”

“…Althouse and Scarpino [2] explored the role of asymptomatic carriers in the resurgence of pertussis (whooping cough), highlighting that even if a high proportion of individuals are vaccinated, asymptomatic transmission can still sustain the disease in the population. Models have also been used to study the roles of asymptomatic transmission for other diseases, such as Zika infection [31], measles [32,46], respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) [35,42], etc.…”
