The cold cause the common cold ?

Begin by defining what is the common cold. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold) a site

with no sponsor but where everyone can publish something say that
The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza,[1] head cold, or simply a
cold) is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract which primarily affects the nose. Symptoms
include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, and fever which usually resolve in seven to ten days,
with some symptoms lasting up to three weeks. Well over 200 virus strains are implicated in the cause of
the common cold; the rhinoviruses are the most common. Upper respiratory tract infections are loosely
divided by the areas they affect, with the common cold primarily affecting the nose, the throat (pharyngitis),
and the sinuses (sinusitis), occasionally involving either or both eyes via conjunctivitis. Symptoms are mostly
due to the body's immune response to the infection rather than to tissue destruction by the viruses
themselves. The primary method of prevention is by hand washing with some evidence to support the
effectiveness of wearing face masks. The common cold may occasionally lead to pneumonia, either viral
pneumonia or secondary bacterial pneumonia. No cure for the common cold exists, but the symptoms can
be treated. It is the most frequent infectious disease in humans with the average adult getting two to three
colds a year and the average child getting between six and twelve. These infections have been with
humanity since antiquity. The document say that the common cold is just a normal virus; and doesnt talk
about the cold like a factor for the common cold.
Another site (http://www.mammaepapa.it/salute/p.asp?nfile=freddo_malattie_raffreddamento) an italian
site with no specific ads just, the ads proposed by google; say that the problem is solved by time, there is
no relationship between cold and common cold
it was difficult to find in recent literature publications that took into account the relationship between cold
and colds. Even in recent manuals of pediatrics are not explicitly stated in this regard, I can cite a good
treaty of pediatric infectious diseases (RD Feigin, JD Cherry, 1993 Italian edition) which literally says "low
temperatures, the cooling and wet feet can not act alone to cause or increase the susceptibility of
individuals to episodes of common cold. " Colds, or better, respiratory infections and flu are caused by
specific microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, etc..) That once you reach the human body penetrate inside,
reproduce, invade various tissues and cause disease . In everyday reality things are not so simple: not all
people who come into contact with a microorganism contract the disease and often the same person reacts
differently at different times. Infectious disease, from colds to influence gastroenteritis, it is always the
result of a relationship between two living beings, the organism and the human host that are never found in
the same situation varies the number of micro-organisms or their virulence (ie the ability to determine the
disease), the guest can be in optimal conditions of health or may have a weaker immune system for a recent
illness or stress, or for a therapy that has executed, or it can be insensitive to that microorganism or
naturally or because they have already contracted the illness or because they have been vaccinated. This
meeting can then determine: the elimination of the microorganism, the coexistence of the microorganism
with the host, an infection without symptoms or disease. The possibilities are many, but certainly not the
only exposure to cold can cause an infectious disease. Blaming the cold, or worse, the parent or grandparent
of the child's illness (he sweated too, took cold, it was wet) is unjustified in our society, especially where the
condition of widespread prosperity makes it improbable situations of prolonged stress from cold . Groups of
people who are truly poor and who also have problems of malnutrition, which does not benefit if the
healthcare sporadically, often irregularly vaccinate or not vaccinate their children may, in cold weather, get
sick more often or more severe, but in these cases the cold is one of many causes favoring and anyway it is
always essential to the contact with a microorganism.
The last site (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/Cold-viruses-become-active-in-
colder-temperatures-scientists-confirm/articleshow/20170267.cms?referral=PM) say that the
common cold is caused by the cold, but doesnt talk about the virus but about the immune system A
team from Yale scientists found that cold temperatures dampen the body's natural defenses against a
rhinovirus, the leading cause of seasonal colds, the scientific journal Nature has reported. Their experiments
were done on mice and artificially grown human cells from respiratory tract."What we show here is a
temperature-dependent interaction between the host and the virus," says team leader Ellen Foxman,
according to Nature. The research findings were presented at an American Society of Microbiology
conference in Denver, Colorado.Although it is well established that colds are more common in autumn and
winter, when temperatures are lower, but efforts to link the rhinovirus to temperature fluctuations have not
succeeded. Some studies have shown that exposure to cold temperature will spark off the sneezing and
sniffles, while others could not find any connection.There are over 200 viruses that can cause the common
cold. The rhinovirus is responsible for 30 to 50 percent of cases. But scientists have discovered more than
100 types of rhinoviruses, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, affiliated to
the US government's National Institutes of Health.What is new in the Yale study is that for the first time an
explanation has been given for the link between colder temperatures and virus activity. Foxman and her
colleagues discovered that at warmer temperatures mice infected with the rhinovirus produced a burst of
antiviral immune signals, which activated natural defenses that fought off the virus, Nature reported. But at
cooler temperatures, the mice produced fewer antiviral signals and the infection could persist.
Experimenting with human airway cells in the lab under cold and warm conditions the researchers infected
them with rhinovirus. They found the warm infected cells were more likely to undergo programmed cell
death - cell suicide brought on by immune responses aimed at limiting the spread of infections - than the
cold-infected cells, Nature reported. So, the explanation for getting cold more in winters is that as humans
breathe in the colder air which chills the upper airways and sets the table for the rhinoviruses to start
getting active.Nature quoted virologist Vincent Racaniello of Columbia University as saying that
temperature is probably just one of several factors that explain how rhinoviruses spread. "Simple answers
like this are never the whole story,"
Then summing the cold depends on a virus, but at warmer temperatures mice infected with the virus of the
common cold produced a burst of antiviral immune signals, which activated natural defenses that fought
off the virus. But at cooler temperatures, the mice produced fewer antiviral signals and the infection could
persist.
So the final answer is No !!
