Overview
Transmission
Respiratory syncytial virus is spread by
- Direct contact with an infected individual
- Self-inoculation after touching contaminated surfaces[1]
- Infectious sections in form of large-particle aerosols or fomites[2]
Evidence suggests that distant contact requiring small particle aerosols does not cause RSV[1].
Genetics
- RSV is an enveloped, negative sense, single stranded RNA virus. It is member of Pneumoviridae family, Orthopneumovirus genus[3].
- The viral genome encodes 11 proteins. The G protein is responsible for viral attachment to cells, and the F protein promotes syncytia formation[4].
