news" data-topic-id="453">

American scientists have found that rhinovirus, which manifests itself as a common cold, can block the influenza A virus. The results of the study are published in The Lancet Microbe.

In other words, a rhinovirus infection is a common cold that manifests itself as a common cold that lasts from five days to two weeks.

Scientists at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven have concluded that rhinovirus is inhibiting the spread of another influenza A virus.

In general, the situation when one pathogen suppresses the reproduction of another has been known for a long time, but for this pair of infectious agents it has been described for the first time.

Doctors examined 13,707 results when it was found that 72 hours after the introduction of rhinovirus, the body’s immune response reached its maximum.

As a result, in cells infected with the influenza A virus after rhinovirus, the replication of the influenza virus was 15 times lower than in cells infected with only the influenza virus.

Previously, Rambler reported about new types of flu.
