Tesis doctoral de María Alfonsina Trento
Human respiratory syncytial virus (hrsv) belongs to the family paramyxoviridae. it is the main cause of severe lower respiratory tract infections in very young children and is also a common cause of respiratory infections in elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Currently, no effective vaccine exists against this virus. Studies of hrsv evolution by sequence analysis have focused mainly on the g protein gene for two reasons: i) the g protein displays the highest antigenic and genetic variability among hrsv gene products and ii) the g protein is one of the targets for neutralizing and protective antibodies.
