Epidemiological shift and clinical characteristics of rhinovirus genotypes in acute respiratory tract infection cases in Kunming, China, from 2019 to 2023
RV remains endemic with significant genetic diversity in the region. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a notable shift in the dominant circulating species from RV-A to RV-C. Emerging mutant strains have contributed to increased disease severity. Both RV-C and RV-A contribute to LRTI in children.
