Claim 10:
11. A method for determining the genotype or viral load of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in a biological sample, comprising:
a) amplifying a nucleic acid sequence encoding an RSV open reading frame (ORF) in a biological sample using a primer that comprises SEQ ID NO:6 and a primer that comprises SEQ ID NO:7; and
b) sequencing the amplification product using one or more primers selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:15, SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:17, SEQ ID NO:18, and SEQ ID NO:19, thereby determining the RSV genotype(s) present or viral load of the RSV in the biological sample.
