ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We sequenced 54 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) genomes collected during 2021-22 and 2022-23 outbreaks in Washington, USA, to determine the origin of increased RSV cases. Detected RSV strains have been spreading for >10 years, suggesting a role for diminished population immunity from low RSV exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
