SUMMARY:IDE Seminar Series – Dr Ben Singer
DESCRIPTION:Although many viruses can cause seasonally-recurring respirator
 y disease outbreaks with distinct epidemiological features\, we lack full 
 comparative understanding of the factors determining these features. Multi
 ple dynamical regimes can permit endemic seasonal outbreaks of respiratory
  viruses\, so characteristics such as transmission intensity\, sensitivity
  to seasonal forcing\, and the role of age and prior exposure in immunity 
 can be challenging to resolve. We used time series data including the disr
 uption to viral circulation during the COVID-19 pandemic to investigate tr
 ansmission dynamics of 6 viruses\, revealing differential buffering of vir
 us re-emergence by population immunity persisting from prior endemic trans
 mission. Calibrated models capture virus-specific re-emergence dynamics th
 at are consistent across countries amid relaxation of pandemic-era non-pha
 rmaceutical interventions. These findings yield insights into the comparat
 ive dynamical characteristics of respiratory viruses to guide outbreak pre
 paredness.
