Biennial cycles of RSV activity have also been identified in Northern Europe and some states in the United States. Delayed RSV activity was reported worldwide during the 2009 influenza pandemic, and a disrupted biennial pattern of RSV activity was observed in northern Stockholm following the pandemic. Biennial patterns shifted to early\/large outbreaks in even-numbered years and late\/small outbreaks in odd-numbered years. However, the mechanisms underpinning this change in pattern remain unknown. In this work, we constructed an age-stratified mechanistic model to explicitly test three factors that could lead to the change in RSV transmission dynamics: 1) birth rates, 2) temperatures, and 3) viral interference. By fitting the model to weekly RSV admission data over a 20-year period and comparing different models, we found that viral interference from influenza was the only mechanism that explained the shifted biennial pattern. Our work demonstrates the complex interplay between different respiratory viruses, providing evidence that supports the presence of interactions between the H1N1 pandemic influenza virus and RSV at the population level, with implications for future public health interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2024.08.09.24310749","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,9]],"date-time":"2024-08-09T17:05:44Z","timestamp":1723223144000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Unraveling the Role of Viral Interference in Disrupting Biennial RSV Epidemics in Northern Stockholm"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"given":"Ke","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johan","family":"Hamrin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel M.","family":"Weinberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Virginia E.","family":"Pitzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e48","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268820000400","article-title":"The burden of respiratory syncytial virus in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"148","year":"2020","journal-title":"Epidemiol Infect"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(17)30938-8"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(22)00478-0"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1743-422X-5-18"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/163.3.464"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004310100801"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"186","DOI":"10.1007\/s15010-002-2159-1","article-title":"Seasonality of respiratory syncytial virus-positive hospitalizations in children in Kiel, Germany, over a 7-year period","volume":"30","year":"2002","journal-title":"Infection"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s15010-002-3124-8"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0054445"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/080352502753711740"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-0691.1997.tb00471.x"},{"key":"2024081205351000000_2024.08.09.24310749v1.12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Casalegno JS , Ottmann M , Bouscambert-Duchamp M , Valette M , Morfin F , Lina B.
