Main Article

Figure 4

RSV season duration and peak, by year, Beijing, China, July 1, 2007–June 30, 2015. RSV season was defined as consecutive weeks during which the percentage of RSV-specific PCRs testing positive per week exceeded a 10% threshold. Graph begins at calendar week 27. *We assigned 2013–14 as an RSV-B–dominant season for modeling purposes, although almost equal numbers of RSV-A and RSV-B were identified that season. RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; RSV-A, RSV subgroup A; RSV-B, RSV subgroup B.
