Human Metapneumovirus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Brazil [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
We describe the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of 111 children attending clinics and hospitals in Aracaju, northeast Brazil, with acute respiratory infections attributable to human metapneumovirus (HMPV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or both in May and June 2002.

Innate Immune Evasion by Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of severe respiratory infection in young children. Nearly all individuals become infected in their early childhood, and reinfections with RSV are common throughout life. Primary infection with RSV is usually involved in the symptom of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in the lower respiratory tract ...

Human and bovine respiratory syncytial virus vaccine research and development [PDF]

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2008
Human (HRSV) and bovine (BRSV) respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV) are two closely related viruses, which are the most important causative agents of respiratory tract infections of young children and calves, respectively.

Bacterial and Viral Coinfections with the Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
The human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is one of the leading causes of acute lower respiratory tract infections in children under five years old. Notably, hRSV infections can give way to pneumonia and predispose to other respiratory complications later in life, such as asthma.

The level and duration of RSV-specific maternal IgG in infants in Kilifi Kenya [PDF]

, 2009
Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants. The rate of decay of RSV-specific maternal antibodies (RSV-matAb), the factors affecting cord blood levels, and the relationship between ...

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus: Infection and Pathology [PDF]

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2016
The human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is by far the major cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTIs) worldwide in infants and children younger than 2 years. The overwhelming number of hospitalizations due to hRSV-induced ALRTI each year is due, at least in part, to the lack of licensed vaccines against this virus.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Bronchial Epithelium [PDF]

Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 1998
A suitable model for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has yet to be developed.To describe an in vitro model of human respiratory epithelium in primary cell culture linked with a computer microscope interface that allows evaluation and imaging of living RSV-infected respiratory epithelium.A descriptive, controlled study. Human bronchial cells

Transcriptional mapping of human respiratory syncytial virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1984
A transcriptional map for human respiratory syncytial virus was determined by measuring the kinetics of viral gene inactivation in response to UV irradiation. Monolayer cell cultures of respiratory syncytial virus-infected HEp-2 cells were exposed to UV light, and residual viral RNA synthesis was monitored both by gel electrophoresis and by ...

Incidence of viral respiratory infections in a prospective cohort of outpatient and hospitalized children aged ≤5 years and its associated cost in Buenos Aires, Argentina [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Although information about the incidence of viral respiratory illnesses and their associated cost can help health officials explore the value of interventions, data are limited from middle-income countries.

A novel host factor for human respiratory syncytial virus [PDF]

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2017
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading viral cause of severe lower respiratory disease in young children worldwide. As part of a genome-wide siRNA screen, we recently discovered that actin-related protein 2 (ARP2) is a host factor in the RSV replication cycle.
