False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of virions,or virus particles,of the respiratory syncytial virus. RS virus,as it is also known,is a member of the paramyxovirus group which is a major cause of human respiratory tract infections in temperate climates,particularly during the winter months. In adults the virus only affects the upper respiratory tract,but infants may be more severely affected & may develop bronchiolitis - inflammation of the bronchioles - or potentially fatal bronchopneumonia.
