Etiology and epidemiology of respiratory infections in community-based influenza-like illness during the COVID-19 pandemic, Vientiane, Lao People's Democratic Republic
These findings highlight the dominance of SARS-CoV-2 and the suppression of typical seasonal viruses, likely due to public health measures and viral interference. The results emphasize the importance of multiplex, community-level surveillance to understand respiratory pathogen dynamics and to strengthen preparedness in resource-limited settings.
