Complementary approaches to target human respiratory syncytial virus using small molecule ligands [PDF]
In the current project, situated at the interface of chemistry and virology, complementary drug discovery approaches (high-throughput screening and structurebased drug design) have been exploited in order to discover novel small molecule inhibitors of ...

The natural history of respiratory syncytial virus in a birth cohort : the influence of age and previous infection on reinfection and disease [PDF]
This study aimed to quantify the effect of age, time since last infection, and infection history on the rate of respiratory syncytial virus infection and the effect of age and infection history on the risk of respiratory syncytial virus disease.

Kinetics of the neutralizing antibody response to respiratory syncytial virus infections in a birth cohort [PDF]
The kinetics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) neutralizing antibodies following birth, primary and secondary infections are poorly defined. The aims of the study were to measure and compare neutralizing antibody responses at different time points in ...

Age-dependent differences in the pathogenesis of bovine respiratory syncytial virus infections related to the development of natural immunocompetence [PDF]
The severity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections appears to differ with age in both humans and bovines. A primary RSV infection in naïve infants and in young calves runs a more severe course when they are 1–6 months old than in their first ...

In vivo evidence for quasispecies distributions in the bovine respiratory syncytial virus genome [PDF]
We analyzed the genetic evolution of bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) isolate W2-00131, from its isolation in bovine turbinate (BT) cells to its inoculation in calves.
