| genetic variability of respiratory syncytial viruses (rsv) prevalent in southwestern china from 2006 to 2009: emergence of subgroup b and a rsv as dominant strains. | respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) is the most commonly identified viral agent in young children with acute respiratory tract infections (aris) and often causes repeated infections throughout life. this study investigated the genetic variability of the attachment (g) protein gene among rsv strains prevalent in southwestern china. reverse transcription-pcr (rt-pcr) for a fragment of the rsv g gene was performed with nasopharyngeal aspirates (npas) collected from children with aris hospitalized in ... | 2010 | 20147636 |
