How climate affects seasonal respiratory virus cases
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how weather and season affect how many people get sick with respiratory viruses like colds or the flu. It may help show if changing climate patterns lead to more cases of these illnesses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had a recent positive test for a respiratory virus (like a nasal swab test)
- Your medical records must be available for review
- You can be any age, as this study includes all patients with a positive test

This study looks at patients of any age with a respiratory infection to learn more about common viruses like flu, RSV, and COVID-19. If you have symptoms and a doctor has ordered tests for these viruses, you can join.
This trial looks at respiratory viruses caught in the hospital. If you are an adult patient or healthcare worker with flu-like symptoms that started while in the hospital, you may help researchers learn more about these infections.
This study tracks viruses that cause sudden colds and flu-like illnesses during winter months in France. Researchers collect information from patients seen by participating doctors to better understand which respiratory viruses are circulating and help prepare for future outbreaks.
This study tracks how respiratory viruses spread in the community and within households. It involves testing and collecting samples from people who are sick or healthy, to help better understand and prevent outbreaks.
This study tests “new technologies” to identify what virus is causing a respiratory illness, using samples taken from inside your nose. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate answers about the cause of your symptoms.
This study tests whether giving a common cold virus (rhinovirus) to people with bronchiectasis and healthy volunteers can trigger a lung flare-up. It aims to understand how the immune system responds and what causes exacerbations, which could lead to better treatments.
