At Rothera, swabs tested positive for non\u2013SARS-CoV-2 seasonal coronavirus (3), adenovirus (2), parainfluenza 4 (1), and human metapneumovirus (1).

For the other viruses, the only other possible sources were the visiting ship crew members. At Rothera, the single symptomatic case presented too early for this to be linked to the subsequent viral detections, and the only other possible source could have been a single nonparticipating staff member.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/jiac412","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T20:21:46Z","timestamp":1665433306000},"page":"2105-2112","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prospective Surveillance of Respiratory Infections in British Antarctic Survey Bases During the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"226","author":[{"given":"Katharine H","family":"Ganly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust , Plymouth , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James C","family":"Bowyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust , Plymouth , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul W","family":"Bird","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas J","family":"Willford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Shaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mina","family":"Odedra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georgia","family":"Osborn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Everett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust , Plymouth , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Warner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust , Plymouth , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Horne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust , Plymouth , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Dinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust , Plymouth , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire L","family":"McMurray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher W","family":"Holmes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon S F","family":"Koo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julian Wei-Tze","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust , Leicester , United Kingdom"},{"name":"Respiratory Sciences, University of Leicester , Leicester , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022121410364727900_jiac412-B1","author":"Anna"},{"key":"2022121410364727900_jiac412-B2","author":"Baker"},{"key":"2022121410364727900_jiac412-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"319","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a115136","article-title":"Rhinovirus infections in an isolated antarctic station.
