Molecular Analysis of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Group B Strains Isolated in Kenya Before and During the Emergence of Pandemic Influenza A/H1N1
Our findings indicate that the circulating HRSV-B viruses in Kenya underwent a slower evolution during the period of 2007-2010. Additionally, our findings reveal the existence of a unique lineage as well as new variants that have not been reported elsewhere to date.
