- Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a negative-sense, enveloped RNA virus of the family I Paramyxoviridae i , subfamily I Pneumovirinae i , and genus I Pneumovirus i , is the single most important respiratory pathogen affecting infants and young children. In low-income regions without specialized facilities, around 100,000 children infected by RSV die every year [[3]], warning us that RSV remains among the most notable etiologies of global child mortality. After the first, unsuccessful attempts to develop an effective formalin-inactivated RSV vaccine in the 1960s, breakthroughs in recent years using novel vaccine development techniques have led to several promising candidates, currently approved by regulatory bodies, such as the Food and Drug Administration in the US and the European Medicines Agency of the EU. 10.1073/pnas.1115941109 19 Gatt D., Martin I., AlFouzan R., Moraes T.J.
