Temporal Variations in Respiratory Syncytial Virus Epidemics, by Virus Subtype, 4 Countries

Abstract

Temporal variation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) epidemics was recently reported to be determined by the dominant RSV subtype. However, when we repeated the analysis for 4 countries in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the dominant subtype did not seem to affect temporal variation of RSV epidemics.
