Abstract:
Viral respiratory infections can occur in pandemics and can spread rapidly within communities resulting in health concerns globally. Several respiratory viruses co-circulate at one specific time. However, interface between different viruses has not been clearly established. This interaction is crucial to delineate, especially during pandemics, including the one relate to covid-19. This commentary will provide a brief description of how respiratory viruses interact and the outcome of this interaction on a pandemic.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
