infants and young children. RSV is characterised by high variability, especially in the G
glycoprotein, which may play a significant role in RSV pathogenicity by allowing immune
evasion. To reconstruct the origin and phylodynamic history of RSV, we evaluated the
genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of RSV A and RSV B isolated from children
under 3 years old infected in Italy from 2006 to 2012. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that …
