Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus group A strain variations of 28 isolates from The Netherlands collected during three consecutive seasons were studied by analyzing G protein sequences. Several lineages circulated repeatedly and simultaneously during the respective seasons. No relationships were found between lineages on the one hand and clinical severity or age on the other.

The proposed extracellular domains of the G proteins contained a single region of highly conserved sequence and secondary structure that may represent a conserved structural or function domain, perhaps involved in attachment to cellular receptors, and may significantly contribute to the fact that the RSV G proteins maintain significant antigenic relatedness.
