Abstract
Summary
Three new rhinovirus immuno-types (FO2-2317, FO2-2513 and FO2-2547) were recovered from military recruits at Fort Ord, California. These new viruses were shown to be small RNA viruses which are inactivated at low pH and do not contain lipids as an essential structural component. Thus, they can be classified as human rhinoviruses. Reciprocal neutralization tests show them to be serologically distinct from the presently recognized 55 prototype rhinoviruses and on the basis of one-way neutralization tests they also appear to be distinct from certain other previously described candidate rhinoviruses.
