title: Current status of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) vaccine development: memorandum from a joint WHO/NIAID meeting.
abstract: A Joint WHO/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) meeting on the current status of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) vaccine development was held in Bethesda, MD, from 30 September to 1 October 1996. The meeting summarized the worldwide impact of RSV and PIV3; presented the current status of development of RSV and PIV3 vaccines; and examined the applications of recombinant DNA technology to the development and characterization of vaccines and to the understanding of viral pathogenesis.
