Article Figures & Data
Figures
- FIG. 1.
Seasonal distribution of HRV and other common viruses (A) and HRV-A, -B, and -C during the study period (B).
- FIG. 2.
Distribution of various genotypes of HRV-positive specimens by patient age.
- FIG. 3.
Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences of the VP4/VP2 gene (420 bp) of the 53 HRVs with reference strains. Phylogenetic trees were constructed by the neighbor-joining method by using MEGA 3.1, and bootstrap values were determined with 1,000 replicates. Virus sequence names shown without symbols were reference strains; representative HRV sequences and other rhinoviruses from GenBank are indicated by isolate names. GenBank accession numbers of each strain are given in parentheses.
