Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with immunosenescence and reduced vaccine responses in the elderly (>70 years). However, the impact of CMV in young adults is less clear. In this study, healthy UK and Senegalese adults aged 18-50 years (average 29 years) were vaccinated with the Ebola vaccine candidate chimpanzee adenovirus type 3 vectored Ebola Zaire vaccine (ChAd3-EBO-Z) and boosted with modified vaccinia Ankara Ebola Zaire vectored (MVA-EBO-Z) vaccine. CMV carriage was associated with an expansion of phenotypically senescent CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing CD57 and killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1), which was negatively associated with vaccine responses in both cohorts (P

The human respiratory tract hosts a diverse community of cocirculating viruses that are responsible for acute respiratory infections. This shared niche provides the opportunity for virus–virus interactions which have the potential to affect individual infection risks and in turn influence dynamics of infection at population scales. However, quantitative evidence for interactions has lacked suitable data and appropriate analytical tools. Here, we expose and quantify interactions among respiratory viruses using bespoke analyses of infection time series at the population scale and coinfections at the individual host scale. We analyzed diagnostic data from 44,230 cases of respiratory illness that were tested for 11 taxonomically broad groups of respiratory viruses over 9 y. Key to our analyses was accounting for alternative drivers of correlated infection frequency, such as age and seasonal dependencies in infection risk, allowing us to obtain strong support for the existence of negative interactions between influenza and noninfluenza viruses and positive interactions among noninfluenza viruses. In mathematical simulations that mimic 2-pathogen dynamics, we show that transient immune-mediated interference can cause a relatively ubiquitous common cold-like virus to diminish during peak activity of a seasonal virus, supporting the potential role of innate immunity in driving the asynchronous circulation of influenza A and rhinovirus. These findings have important implications for understanding the linked epidemiological dynamics of viral respiratory infections, an important step towards improved accuracy of disease forecasting models and evaluation of disease control interventions.

Seasonal influenza infections have a significant global impact leading to increased health and economic burden. The efficacy of currently available seasonal influenza vaccines targeting polymorphic surface antigens has historically been suboptimal. Cellular immune responses against highly conserved Influenza A virus antigens, such as nucleoprotein (NP) and matrix protein-1 (M1), have previously been shown to be associated with protection from disease, whilst viral-vectored vaccines are an effective strategy to boost cell-mediated immunity. We have previously demonstrated that MVA encoding NP and M1 can induce potent and persistent T cell responses against influenza. In this Phase I study, we evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of MVA-NP+M1, which was newly manufactured on an immortalized cell line, in six healthy adult participants. The vaccine was well-tolerated with only mild to moderate adverse events that resolved spontaneously and were comparable to previous studies with the same vaccine manufactured in chick embryo fibroblasts. A significant increase in vaccine-specific T cell responses was detected seven days after immunization and was directed against both antigens in the vector insert. This small Phase I study supports progression of this vaccine to a Phase IIb study to assess immunogenicity and additional protective efficacy in older adults receiving licensed seasonal influenza vaccines.

This guide provides a basic introduction to the related concepts of psychological literacy and psychologically literate citizenship. Psychological literacy encapsulates the idea that an understanding of basic principles of human behaviour and development gained through study of Psychology will help us to better understand ourselves and others, and will help individuals and organisations to function better. Psychologically literate citizenship extends this idea, to incorporate the benefits that an understanding of Psychology can bring to the individuals who study it, and their local and global communities. The guide will argue that Psychology offers potential solutions to many of the world’s most pressing problems. Its publication is particularly timely following the report of Trapp, Banister, Ellis, Latto, Miell and Upton (2011) and the subsequent inclusion of psychological literacy within the criteria for accreditation of undergraduate Psychology degrees by the British Psychological Society (BPS 2012). The guide commences by introducing the theoretical contexts of psychological literacy and psychologically literate citizenship. It links these concepts to issues around graduate attributes, including employability and global citizenship, suggesting that psychologically literate graduates are also highly employable global citizens. It then goes on to outline some possible areas of the typical undergraduate Psychology curriculum that lend themselves to developing psychological literacy in students. These suggestions are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to stimulate creative thinking in the reader, and encourage psychologists everywhere to think about the real-life value of their particular areas of expertise in Psychology. We hope that you will find it useful, share it with your colleagu es, and use it to spark enthusiasm for Psychology in your students.
