Stub. Identity fields are a first pass and need review before publication. The full profile (discovery, classification and virology, replication cycle, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical features, natural history, diagnosis, management, prevention, public health, references) is pending a dedicated study session. This is a group profile covering the three rhinovirus species (A, B and C), which sit taxonomically within genus Enterovirus but are kept as a separate entry because acid-lability and upper-respiratory tropism set them clinically apart.
