Mr. Ayodeji Emmanue Ogunbayo is remarkably making headways on research on respiratory viruses using modern molecular assays. His latest published study highlighted the importance of post-COVID-19 surveillance of other viral respiratory pathogens with increased outbreak potential, especially in children. The findings indicated that majority of Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI) cases in children at the Free State, South Africa are caused by viruses. However, further analysis using mNGS could uncover other causes of SARI that were undetected, like those caused by bacterial pathogens.
