Genetic clustering of all 102 human rhinovirus prototype strains: serotype 87 is close to human enterovirus 70
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Human rhinoviruses (HRV), common agents of respiratory infections, comprise 102 designated serotypes. The genetic relationships of HRV prototype strains and the possibility of using genetic identification of a given HRV field strain were studied. Genomic sequences in the VP4/VP2 region were obtained from all 102 prototype strains. Phylogenetic analysis included 61 recently isolated Finnish field strains....
