    Snippet: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a ubiquitous pneumovirus which infects nearly all children in the U.S. by the age of two, with repeated infections occurring throughout life [1] . RSV is a common cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in young children and the elderly, and in 2015 resulted in an estimated 94,000-149,000 deaths globally in children under the age of five [2] .

    Document: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a ubiquitous pneumovirus which infects nearly all children in the U.S. by the age of two, with repeated infections occurring throughout life [1] . RSV is a common cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in young children and the elderly, and in 2015 resulted in an estimated 94,000-149,000 deaths globally in children under the age of five [2] . Although few deaths of children in the United States are attributed to RSV [2, 3] , severe infections requiring hospitalization are frequent and lead to estimated direct health care costs of $750 million dollars annually [4] . Currently, there is no vaccine for RSV and the only FDA-approved therapy is passive prophylaxis with the monoclonal antibody palivizumab (Synagis) [5] . However, the high cost and modest efficacy of palivizumab restricts its usage to high-risk infants [6] , making the development of improved interventions a global health priority.
