Abstract excerpt
As RNA virus mutation occurs during replication within host cells, we hypothesized that viral evolution during acute infections in healthy hosts reflects host immune pressure. We therefore investigated the within-host diversification of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a highly prevalent cause of acute respiratory infections. We evaluated healthy adults experimentally infected with an identical inoculum...
