A diverse group of previously unrecognized human rhinoviruses are common causes of respiratory illnesses in infants. by Wai-Ming Lee, Christin Kiesner, Tressa Pappas, Iris Lee, Kris Grindle, Tuomas Jartti, Bogdan Jakiela, Robert F Lemanske, Peter A Shult, James E Gern

“…Defining the role of specific strains in various HRV illnesses has been difficult because traditional serology, which requires viral culture and neutralization tests using 101 serotype-specific antisera, is insensitive and laborious.To directly type HRVs in nasal secretions of infants with frequent respiratory illnesses, we developed a sensitive molecular typing assay based on phylogenetic comparisons of a 260-bp variable sequence in the 5' noncoding region with homologous sequences of the 101 known serotypes. …”

Association of the Frequency of Respiratory Illness in Early Childhood with a Change in the Distribution of Blood Lymphocyte Subpopulations by Karsh Jacob, Angel Jonathan B, Young Charlene D, Sahni Vanita, Judek Stan, Miller David, Dales Robert E

“…<p>Abstract</p> <p>Little is known about the distribution of lymphocyte phenotypes in young children and the association specific phenotypes may have with respiratory illnesses. The objective of this study was to describe lymphocyte distributions in children at approximately 2 years of age and to test for associations with the frequency of respiratory illness during the first 2 years of life. …”

Identification of a novel human papillomavirus by metagenomic analysis of samples from patients with febrile respiratory illness. by John L Mokili, Bas E Dutilh, Yan Wei Lim, Bradley S Schneider, Travis Taylor, Matthew R Haynes, David Metzgar, Christopher A Myers, Patrick J Blair, Bahador Nosrat, Nathan D Wolfe, Forest Rohwer

“…As part of a virus discovery investigation using a metagenomic approach, a highly divergent novel Human papillomavirus type was identified in pooled convenience nasal/oropharyngeal swab samples collected from patients with febrile respiratory illness. Phylogenetic analysis of the whole genome and the L1 gene reveals that the new HPV identified in this study clusters with previously described gamma papillomaviruses, sharing only 61.1% (whole genome) and 63.1% (L1) sequence identity with its closest relative in the Papillomavirus episteme (PAVE) database. …”
