TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one such genotype of RSV, 2stop+A4G, present in the RSV attachment (G) gene terminus is associated with greater infant disease severity and regulation of G and F expression has implications for virulence and potentially immune evasion.

TL;DR: Mortality data suggest that RSV is an important cause of death in childhood from ALRI, after pneumococcal pneumonia and Haemophilus influenzae type b, and the development of novel prevention and treatment strategies should be accelerated as a priority.
