Molecular epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus for 28 consecutive seasons (1990-2018) and genetic variability of the duplication region in the G gene of genotypes ON1 and BA in South Korea.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the molecular epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) isolated from children during 28 consecutive seasons (1990-2018) and the genetic variability of the duplication region of RSV genotypes ON1 and BA in South Korea. RSV was identified using culture-based methods in Hep-2 cells and was grouped as RSV-A or RSV-B by an immunofluorescence assay. The second hypervariable region of the G gene...
