Sequence analysis of human rhinoviruses in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase coding region reveals large within-species variation
21 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs; family Picornaviridae), the most frequent causative agents of respiratory infections, comprise more than 100 distinct serotypes. According to previous phylogenetic analysis of the VP4/VP2-coding sequences, all but one of the HRV prototype strains distribute between the two established species, Human rhinovirus A (HRV-A) and Human rhinovirus B (HRV-B). Here, partial sequences of the...
