Seasonality of acute viral respiratory diseases is a well-known and yet notfully understood phenomenon. Several models have been proposed to explain theregularity of yearly recurring outbreaks and the phase-differences observed atdifferent latitudes on Earth. Such models take into account known internalcauses, primarily the periodic emergence of new virus variants that evade thehost immune response. Yet, this alone, is generally unable to explain theregularity of recurrences and the observed phase-differences. Here we show thatseasonality of viral respiratory diseases, as well as its distribution withlatitude on Earth, can be fully explained by the virucidal properties of UV-Band A Solar photons through a daily, minute-scale, resonant forcing mechanism.Such an induced periodicity can last, virtually unperturbed, from tens tohundreds of cycles, and even in presence of internal dynamics (host's loss ofimmunity) much slower than seasonal will, on a long period, generate seasonaloscillations.
