    Document: These results provide data that may help to optimise the implementation of preventative strategies with the aim of protecting vulnerable infants. South Asia is an area of the world with a high incidence of low birthweight infants, household crowding and malnutrition, all risk factors for severe childhood ALRI. Our study of non-influenza respiratory virus transmission within households in rural Nepal highlights the importance of targeting preschool-age children to prevent the spread of respiratory viral illness. Understanding the household transmission of respiratory viruses in rural resource-limited populations will help evaluate infection prevention strategies, such as immunisation of mothers and other household members in protecting infants, who are most vulnerable to respiratory viral infection.
