Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus known to cause respiratory infections. It belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family and is sometimes referred to by its alternate names like Human Orthopneumovirus. RSV is approximately 15 kb in size. It is predominantly expressed in the respiratory tract where it attacks epithelial cells leading to infection. The virus's ability to form a syncytium a large multinucleate cell is one of its mechanical strategies to aid in the spread across the host cells./ Biological function summary/ The virus propagates efficiently within the host tissue leading to serious respiratory illness in infants and young children. RSV is not part of a specific complex but it engages host cellular machinery to promote its replication and prevent immune detection. The fusion (F) protein of RSV plays a critical role in mediating membrane fusion facilitating viral entry into the host cells. The involvement of viral proteins in modulating host immune responses is significant for the virus's life cycle./
