title: Molecular epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus during the 2009-2010 season in Latvia.
abstract: For the first time, we studied molecular epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus in hospitalized children in Latvia. During the study period, ten unique group A and three group B strains were identified and assigned to a single genotype within each group-GA2 for group A and BA-IV for group B.
