RSV Classification, Structure, and Proteins

This chapter provides an overview of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), including its classification, structure, and proteins. It explains the role of non-structural proteins and structural proteins in viral replication, as well as the importance of fusion protein F and attachment protein G in the initiation and propagation of RSV. The chapter also mentions the two subtypes of RSV, types A and B, and discusses the host-derived antibody response and potential immunity after infection.
