Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ashton Ingold's research examines the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric respiratory infections in Arkansas. Ingold has investigated how these interventions, such as masking and social distancing, were associated with reduced pediatric infections from *Mycoplasma pneumoniae* and other co-infecting respiratory viruses. A focus of this work has been the disproportionate impact on younger and rural children, who were found to be more likely to be hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Further research has explored the effects of these interventions on pediatric asthma exacerbations and viral infections, including shifts in the severity of viral infection in children with asthma. Ingold also contributes to genomic surveillance efforts for SARS-CoV-2, utilizing long-range PCR primers. Collaborations include work with Joshua L. Kennedy, Bobby L. Boyanton Jr, Dana Frederick, and David W. Ussery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
