Human respiratory syncytial virus, illustration

---

Illustration of human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) particle. Embedded in the lipid bilayer envelope (purple) are F (yellow) and G (blue) glycoproteins, which play a role in the attachment (G) and fusion (F) of the virus with a host cell. 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.
