This study on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) reveals global genomic gaps. Using INFORM-RSV data, it uncovers selection’s impact on RSVA and RSVB diversity. Analysing full genomes, it highlights non-neutral epidemic processes. The research emphasises air travel’s influence on global spread, underscoring the need for comprehensive RSV genomic surveillance.
