Abstract excerpt
The genetic and antigenic diversity present in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) strains may in part be explained by genetic drift similar to that which occurs with influenza virus B. To study drift in RSV strains, we sequenced the five membrane-associated genes, M, SH, G, F, and M2, from three sets of RSV isolates: one set of seven closely related isolates obtained over 5 years in St. Louis, MO, and two sets of...
