Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Common Cold Unit (CCU) or Common Cold Research Unit (CCRU) was a unit of the British Medical Research Council which undertook laboratory and epidemiological research on the common cold between 1946 and 1989 and produced 1,006 papers. The Common cold Unit studied etiology, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of common colds.

Common colds account for a third of all acute respiratory infections and the economic costs are substantial in terms of sick leave.
