Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) viral particle (bright green dot) signals MAP kinases (red signal propagation wave) upon interacting with the surface of the cell. This image was taken within minutes of adding virus to the cells. The nucleus of the cell is stained in blue by a stain called DAPI that binds to the DNA that is stored in the nucleus.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus, RSV, is the biggest cause of infant hospitalizations
