Gliederung

Text

Research on pediatric viral infections in LMICs has been multifaceted, addressing key viruses such as Arboviruses, respiratory pathogens (RSV), rotavirus, and emerging pathogens. Efforts have focused on understanding epidemiology, identifying risk factors for severe disease, and improving prevention and treatment strategies. Vaccination programs, particularly for rotavirus, measles, and other preventable infections, have been a priority, alongside research into vaccine coverage and hesitancy. Additionally, efforts have been directed towards enhancing surveillance systems, improving diagnostics, and developing rapid response strategies to outbreaks of emerging viruses. Overall, research in this area aims to mitigate the burden of viral infections on pediatric populations in resource-limited settings.
