This analysis describes insights gleaned from the \u201cAcute Respiratory Infections at the Academy\u201d (ARIA) study regarding respiratory virus incidence and impact at the United States Naval Academy during \u201cPlebe Summer\u201d 2023, an intense 6-week training for all incoming freshmen (plebes).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Residual nasal swabs collected as part of the standard-of-care work-up in midshipmen who presented to clinic with an ARI were sent for multiplex PCR testing and viral genomic sequencing. Corresponding patient demographics, symptoms, diagnoses, and outcomes were abstracted from medical records. Integrated epidemiological and viral genomic analyses were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During Plebe Summer 2023, 40% of incoming freshmen (473\/1187) sought healthcare for at least 1 ARI, as did 71 upperclassmen. Swabs were collected in 598 of 615 ARIs (97%), among which 324 (54%) tested positive for at least 1 virus; 2 + viruses were detected in 52\/324 (16%). Rhinovirus\/enterovirus was most frequently detected, followed by SARS-CoV-2; several SARS-CoV-2 variants, all Omicron sub-lineages, were identified. There was considerable symptom overlap among MAARIs in which different viruses were detected. Most (83%) midshipmen with a medically attended ARI (MAARI) spent at least 1 day sick-in-quarters (SIQ). SARS-CoV-2 detections were associated with the longest SIQ durations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Plebe Summer 2023 was characterized by high MAARI attack rates, considerable viral diversity and viral codetections, and substantial training days lost.
