Abstract :

Since yearly outbreaks of influenza and the common cold strike the human population in temperate zones like clockwork during the winter, people have known for thousands of years that respiratory viral infections follow a seasonal cycle. Viruses like the respiratory syncytial virus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and the recently discovered SARS-CoV-2 also create epidemics in the winter. For years, researchers have studied and discussed the factors behind the seasonality of respiratory virus infections. Human behavior and changes in environmental circumstances are the two main contributing causes. This article aimed to present the main winter infectious viruses. This article provides an overview of several viruses that tend to become active during the winter. Keywords: Winter, Infectious viruses, Common cold, Flu, RSV, COVID-19,
