The study identifies and characterizes two novel rhinovirus serotypes, 1505 and 8213, expanding the known diversity of human rhinoviruses.
Expands rhinovirus diversity; leaves open human pathogenicity and epidemiology.
Two new viruses, 1505 and 8213, were recovered from the human oro-pharynx in two separate epidemiological studies. The viruses were found possess characteristics of agents in the rhinovirus subgroup of picornaviruses: small size (15-30 mμ), RNA core, ether stability, inactivation at pH 3.0. Both 1505 and 8213 viruses were tested by neutralization tests against 85 previously described rhinovirus serotypes and 11 possible candidate rhinoviruses, and both were found to be distinct antigenically from all ninety-six.
