Lower respiratory tract infections resulting from seasonal epidemics and pandemics are among the leading causes of death globally. Treatments are largely supportive showing a need for identifying novel targets for interventions and prediction models to personalize treatment. The REACT consortium unites high-level experts in virology, immunology, clinical medicine, epidemiology, and bioinformatics that through assessing genotypic, high-dimensional immunophenotypic, demographic and clinical data aim to define host-pathogen interactions of influenza, RS virus and SARS-CoV-2.
We aimed to evaluate genotypic, high-dimensional immunophenotypic, demographic, and clinical data in the context of the disease course to define host-pathogen interactions of viral respiratory tract infections, focusing on predominant viruses, i.e., influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and severe acute respiratory virus (SARS-CoV-2), to predict the course of the disease, to allow targeting and personalisation of treatments, the identification of therapeutic targets, as well as defining and improving vaccination efforts.
