Resurgence of Respiratory Virus after Relaxation of COVID-19 Containment Measures: A Real-World Data Study from a Regional Hospital of Italy

International Journal of Microbiology, 2022
The SARS-CoV-2 virus spread in the Northern Hemisphere during the 2019/2020 influenza seasons and it persisted in the 2021/2022 season. A cocirculation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses was expected in Italy during the winter seasons.

Genetic diversity of the attachment protein of subgroup B respiratory syncytial viruses [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1991
Respiratory syncytial (RS) virus causes repeated infections throughout life. Between the two main antigenic subgroups of RS virus, there is antigenic variation in the attachment protein G. The antigenic differences between the subgroups appear to play a role in allowing repeated infections to occur.
