UQ research heralds vaccine technology breakthrough

This vaccine [1] may differ from the one mentioned in the Wikipedia article. Brian Pearson 03:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Treatment section too technical

The treatment section needs to be rephrased in less technical language.--Srleffler 17:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Treatment section has more basic problem

I disagree that the Treatment section is too technical. It has a more basic problem. Only the first two sentences are about treatment. (as of this date) The sentence beginning "Amino acid sequences 200-225 and ..." and everything following is about a particular, very specialized, bit of research on RSV, not about treatment. It should be removed, or moved to a research section. --7802mark (talk) 15:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

RSV Season

When is RSV season? Perhaps we can clarify this for more depth on virus prevention. Strictly Business (talk) 16:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Free images available

There's a set of free CT images here (under creative commons). I just don't have time to upload them right now. If you'd like to upload them but don't know how, I can help, drop me a note. delldot talk 02:00, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


Is vaccine research history available?

A "spectacular" failure for vaccine development sounds like there might be an interesting story behind it. Are any sources available that discuss the history of the vaccine in detail? 67.244.2.127 (talk) 00:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


There's a lot of current RSV vaccine news lately that could be covered here, see http://www.bio-medicine.org/biology-technology-1/Novavax-Announces-Selection-of-a-Respiratory-Syncytial-Virus-Vaccine-Candidate-for-Advanced-Preclinical-Studies-13139-3/ 132.38.190.10 (talk) 21:08, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Ribavirin confers no benefit?

If Ribavirin confers no benefit, why is it FDA approved to treat RSV infections in children, under the name Virazole? There may be an explanation, but it'd be nice if the article covered it... Mordac (talk) 10:18, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Treatment Section

The treatment section needs a lot of work. It's not true that no treatment for bronchiolitis works, just that the evidence is still not clear. In fact, there has been a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed that dexamethasone and epinephrine administered together reduced the probability of a child with bronchiolitis requiring admission to hospital. As well, there is some good evidence that epinephrine will provide a short-term alleviation of symptoms.

However, the more fundamental issue is whether this section should discuss the treatment of the symptoms of bronchiolitis or whether it should just focus on treatments that may shorten the course of RSV infection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.230.244.133 (talk) 06:49, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

RSV may cause asthma

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19511684 -- To quote:

Viral infections in newborns "cripple" part of the immune system and increase the risk of asthma later in life, US researchers studying mice have said.

They showed infections by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) stripped immune cells of their ability to calm down inflammation in the lung's airways.

They say their findings, published in the journal Nature Medicine (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nm.2896), will help develop ways of preventing asthma.drh (talk) 11:26, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

F Protein?

The link under taxonomy links to the Fusion protein wiki page, which is about proteins produced from different genes being spliced together to create a new gene which creates a chimeric protein that is partly coded by each of the old genes.
The F protein mentioned for humanRSV is a protein which supposedly fuses the membranes of two adjacent cells, this is not the same thing as the Fusion protein found in the linked-to wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:8203:4A61:CDDB:A512:A8C5:74A5 (talk) 09:21, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
I found roughly the correct page at Membrane fusion protein and have changed it on the wiki for human RSV. It would be nice to find the specific protein that is used in this RSV and link to that additionally though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:8203:4A61:CDDB:A512:A8C5:74A5 (talk) 09:26, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Fake medical journal

I've making many edits to the MRSA article and unfortunately have had to remove a lot of content based upon the inadequate referencing. In addition, I found the strangest thing when I was editing information about surface decontamination. The reference at first seemed to only be a primary source. I followed the link to the reference anyway hoping that it would be good. I found that the company that manufactured the disinfecting equipment had created a 'dummy journal'. In this fabricated on line publication, they explained the marvels of their equipment in a journal format. The articles contained in the journal even had a pmid and doi! The articles were blatant advertisements along accompanying hype and puffery. PubMed has indexed the articles, also. What an ingenious ploy. My next clue was to discover that it also was a place where others could leave a comment, i.e. a blog. Imagine! A marketing strategy that creates a dummy journal in which every article is a description of their amazing products.

No mention of gastro-intestinal symptoms

This article is lacking in any information about GI symptoms or transmission via faecal contamination. If anyone has time to update, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

It's respiratory syncytial virus, not human orthopneumovirus

"Human orthopneumovirus, formerly Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV)..."

No one refers to RSV as orthopneumovirus. All of the most recent primary literature and reviews refer to it as RSV. 128.62.213.223 (talk) 16:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 27 September 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move with unanimous support. Thanks, and happy editing! (non-admin closure) ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 10:43, 4 October 2020 (UTC)


Human orthopneumovirus → Respiratory syncytial virus – The WP:COMMONNAME as given by WP:MEDRS. This should be a case of WP:IAR with regard to the ICTV name because readers of all levels will be looking for the RSV name. Furthermore, Wikipedia:WikiProject Viruses/Guidelines § Article titles states: In general, the Latin name should be redirected to the common name and the common name used for article titles. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 05:34, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
