Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for lower respiratory tract infections, particularly posing a significant threat to infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. However, the disease burden is poorly understood in the adult population in Africa. This molecular study investigated the occurrence of RSV in adults 50 years and older and assessed the genetic variability of...
