Novel Respiratory Syncytial Virus A Genotype, Germany, 2011–2012
To the Editor: Respiratory syncy-tial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe respiratory disease in infants and elderly persons. RSV strains have been divided into 2 major antigenic groups (A and B), which are further divided into several genotypes. The main genetic and antigenic differences between genotypes are found within the 2 hy-pervariable regions of the attachment (G) glycoprotein. In 1...
متن کاملNovel Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Genotype ON1 Predominates in Germany during Winter Season 2012–13
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of hospitalization especially in young children with respiratory tract infections (RTI). Patterns of circulating RSV genotypes can provide a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology of RSV infection. We retrospectively analyzed the genetic diversity of RSV infection in hospitalized children with acute RTI admitted to University Ho...
متن کاملRapid spread of the novel respiratory syncytial virus A ON1 genotype, central Italy, 2011 to 2013.
Respiratory infections positive for human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) subtype A were characterised in children admitted to hospitals in Rome and Ancona (Italy) over the last three epidemic seasons. Different strains of the novel RSV-A genotype ON1, first identified in Ontario (Canada) in December 2010, were detected for the first time in Italy in the following 2011/12 epidemic season. The...
متن کاملRespiratory syncytial virus envelope glycoprotein (G) has a novel structure.
Amino acid sequence of human respiratory syncytial virus envelope glycoprotein (G) was deduced from the DNA sequence of a recombinant plasmid and confirmed by limited amino acid microsequencing of purified 90K G protein. The calculated molecular mass of the protein encoded by the only long open reading frame of 298 amino acids was 32,588 daltons and was somewhat smaller than the 36K polypeptide...
متن کاملRSV604, a novel inhibitor of respiratory syncytial virus replication.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections worldwide, yet no effective vaccine or antiviral treatment is available. Here we report the discovery and initial development of RSV604, a novel benzodiazepine with submicromolar anti-RSV activity. It proved to be equipotent against all clinical isolates tested of both the A and B subtypes of the vi...
