Using mathematical transmission modelling to investigate drivers of respiratory syncytial virus seasonality in children in the Philippines.

We used a mathematical transmission model to estimate when ecological drivers of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) transmissibility would need to act in order to produce the observed seasonality of RSV in the Philippines. We estimated that a seasonal peak in transmissibility would need to occur appr...
