Abstract
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an RNA virus of the family Pneumoviridae and is a common causative agent of acute respiratory infections. Infection with this virus is often severe and can result in fatalities and chronic complications, particularly in high-risk groups such as children under the age of 5 and elderly individuals over 65 years old. This review presents the latest data on the taxonomy, virion structure, and genome map of RSV, as well as its role in the etiology of acute respiratory diseases. We have analyzed over 100 publications on RSV genotyping in different parts of the world including Russia published between 2015 and 2023. The genetic composition of RSV isolates in Russia is similar to that in other regions of the world, which are predominantly represented by genotypes ON1 and BA9. The development of effective vaccines is crucial for successful disease control. The review summarizes global advances in the development of interventions against RSV, emphasizing promising treatments currently undergoing clinical trials and the ones that have recently been approved. Similar interventions (vaccines) are yet to be developed in Russia, but the similarities in genetic composition of RSV in Russia and worldwide offer hope for the rapid development of domestic vaccines against this infection.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology is a journal that covers most topical theoretical and applied problems of molecular genetics of pro- and eukaryotic organisms, molecular microbiology and molecular virology. An important part the journal assigns to investigations of the genetic apparatus of microorganisms, searching for forms of genetic exchange, genetic mapping of pathogenic causative agents, to ascertainment of the structure and functions of extrachromosomal factors of heredity and migratory genetic elements, to theoretical studies into the mechanisms of genetic regulation. The journal publishes results of research on molecular and genetic bases of an eukaryotic cell, functioning of chromosomes and chromatin, nature of genetic changes in malignization and a set of hereditary diseases. On the pages of the journal there is covered the formulation of molecular bases of virology including issues of integration of viral and cellular genomes, and issues of persistence. The journal plans to put materials on genetic engineering, envisaging synthesis and isolation of genes from natural reservoirs, creation of plasmid- and virus-based vector, production of recombinant DNA molecules, the creation of Gene Banks for Microbes, animals, and human; and also on biotechnological production of hormones, components of antiviral vaccines, diagnostic and therapeutic preparations.
