Positive selection results in frequent reversible amino acid replacements in the G protein gene of human respiratory syncytial virus.
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children under 5 years of age and the elderly, causing annual disease outbreaks during the fall and winter. Multiple lineages of the HRSVA and HRSVB serotypes co-circulate within a single outbreak an...
