Study Description:
Retrospective and prospective samples from participants will be obtained to isolate respiratory viruses for use in laboratory assays, animal experiments, development of challenge virus, and development of vaccines. Samples will also be obtained to study respiratory virus-associated systemic and mucosal immunity and virus characteristics.
Objectives:
Primary Objective:
To isolate human respiratory virus specimens and maintain them in a repository for future use in laboratory assays, animal experiments, development of challenge viruses, and development of vaccines, described in a separate protocol.
Study Population: 1-200 (for each virus species/strain) adult and child participants aged 3 years and above with suspected or documented respiratory infection for a maximum of 20000 participants total. The total number of subjects enrolled will depend on the prevalence of infection with each virus/strain and on the geographic distribution of infections.
Description of Sites/Facilities Enrolling Participants:
NIH Clinical Center (CC).
Study Duration: 10 years
