Abstract excerpt
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children under 5years of age. The novel genotype ON1 has a 72-nucleotide duplication, which is the largest duplicated genome portion of RSV. Whether the ON1 genotype will follow the pattern of the BA genotype, which has a 60-nucleotide duplication, and become the predominant RSV-A strain is a...
