Evidence of recombination and genetic diversity in human rhinoviruses in children with acute respiratory infection.

Evidence of recombination and genetic diversity in human rhinoviruses in children with acute respiratory infection.

BACKGROUND: Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are a highly prevalent cause of acute respiratory infection in children. They are classified into at least three species, HRV-A, HRV-B and HRV-C, which are characterized by sequencing the 5' untranslated region (UTR) or the VP4/VP2 region of the genome. Giv...
