Cholesterol is required for stability and infectivity of influenza A and respiratory syncytial viruses. [PDF]
Cholesterol-rich lipid raft microdomains in the plasma membrane are considered to play a major role in the enveloped virus lifecycle. However, the functional role of cholesterol in assembly, infectivity and stability of respiratory RNA viruses is not fully understood. We previously reported that depletion of cellular cholesterol by cholesterol-reducing

Natural infection of pangolins with human respiratory syncytial viruses
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an enveloped non-segmented negative sense RNA virus that belongs to Orthopneumovirus genus of the Pneumoviridae family in the order Mononegavirales. The virus is the leading cause of severe respiratory disease in children under two years of age and is responsible for substantial disease burden in infants and elder ...

In Vivo Selection of Respiratory Syncytial Viruses Resistant to Palivizumab [PDF]
ABSTRACT Palivizumab (PZ) is the only monoclonal antibody currently available for use in humans against an infectious disease. PZ is administered prophylactically for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. RSV selected in cell culture for growth in the presence of PZ develops F gene mutations and can be resistant to PZ prophylaxis in ...

Identification of group B respiratory syncytial viruses that lack the 60-nucleotide duplication after six consecutive epidemics of total BA dominance at coastal Kenya [PDF]
Respiratory syncytial virus BA genotype has reportedly replaced other group B genotypes worldwide. We report the observation of three group B viruses, all identical in G sequence but lacking the BA duplication, at a coastal district hospital in Kenya in ...

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.

1409. Genomic Variation Among Respiratory Syncytial Viruses [PDF]
Abstract Background Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) can be easily classified into two subtypes (A and B) based on the nucleic acid sequence of their genome. Phylogenic approaches have shown that within both subtypes separate lineages of viruses exist and new lineages continue to emerge.

Genetic Variation and Disease Severity of Respiratory Syncytial Viruses [PDF]
Abstract Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) disease in newborns ranges from mild symptoms to severe disease requiring hospitalization. RSV is classified into two subtypes (RSVA and RSVB) based on antigenic and genetic differences. The role these genomic variations play in disease severity remains unknown.

Incidence and risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus infections among children in the remote highlands of Peru [PDF]
The disease burden and risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (MPV) infections among children living in remote, rural areas remain unclear.; We conducted a prospective, household-based cohort study of children aged ...
