Respiratory syncytial virus and other respiratory viruses

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2003
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a nonsegmented, single stranded RNA virus, infects one-half of all infants within the first year of life. RSV possesses pathogenetic qualities that may be attributed to the interplay of viral and host-specific factors including virus strains of different virulence, size of the inoculum, family history of asthma or ...

High incidence of multiple viral infections identified in upper respiratory tract infected children under three years of age in Shanghai, China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is a major reason for hospitalization in childhood. More than 80% of URTIs are viral. Etiological diagnosis of URTIs is important to make correct clinical decisions on treatment methods.

Programmable DNA‐Peptide Hybrid Nanostructures for Potent Neutralization of Multiple Influenza a Virus Subtypes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Cetylpyridinium chloride and chlorhexidine show antiviral activity against Influenza A virus and Respiratory Syncytial virus in vitro.

PLoS ONE
BackgroundThe oral cavity is the site of entry and replication for many respiratory viruses. Furthermore, it is the source of droplets and aerosols that facilitate viral transmission.

Multivalent Protein Nanorings for Broad and Potent SARS‐CoV‐2 Neutralization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A protein‐only, modular multivalent nanoscaffold displaying 20 anchor points, decorated with two different binders (10 of each), targeting the SARS‐CoV‐2 receptor‐binding domain is presented. The construct self‐assembles into stable, biocompatible, homogeneous nanoparticles, exhibit synergistic binding with fM IC50 values. It also detects spike at 9 ng

Typing and subtyping of influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial viruses by multiplex RT-PCR

International Congress Series, 2004
We developed a series of oligonucleotide primers capable of detecting, typing, and subtyping influenza virus type A (H1 and H3) and type B and respiratory syncytial viruses types A and B. RNAs were isolated from culture fluid or clinical specimens, and cDNA synthesis and PCR were carried out with mixtures of primers specific to each virus.
