If both viruses struggle to strike at the same time, this could explain why under-fives are more likely to get colds and older schoolchildren are the age group who suffer more often from flu. Experts, who created computer models for 11 virus infections over nine years, found only influenza A, a strain which includes swine flu, and rhinovirus were rarely found together. This could explain why colds went down during the UK swine flu outbreak of 2009. The res believe that the flu may destroy cells in the respiratory tract, as well as the 'doorway' on the outside which lets other viruses in. But a short-lived immune reaction elicited by the flu, where the body produces a chemical called interferon to fight it for the first few days, may also provide protection against colds. Dr Pablo Murcia, senior author of the research from the University of Glasgow, said: 'My team are now doing experiments to try and understand how respiratory viruses, including influenza and rhinovirus, interact. 'If we understand how viruses interact and how certain viral infections may favour or inhibit each other, then maybe we can develop better ways to target viruses. '
