RSV virus particles in human lung cells, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) virions (gold) have been labelled with anti-RSV F protein/gold antibodies (yellow), and are seen here shedding from the surface of cultured human lung epithelial A549 cells. RSV is a pneumovirus, a type of paramyxovirus. It is a major cause of respiratory tract infections in humans, and is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants. | |
