Seasonal competition between mould spores and respiratory viruses

Written by
Professor Gregory Retzinger researches the link between mould spores and influenza-like-illnesses, with the intention of understand the link between cell receptors and potential disruption to the COVID-19 virus

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is one of a number of respiratory viruses that demonstrate a clear seasonal incidence. Professor Gregory Retzinger and colleagues have explored the relationship between influenza-like illnesses (ILIs), COVID-19 and bioaerosol burden. They found an inverse relationship between mould spores and cases of ILIs and COVID-19 which is potentially due to competition for the same […]
