Sign in to saveAlso known as rinoceronvirus, rhinoviruses
The rhinovirus (from the "nose", , romanized: "of the nose", and the ) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Enterovirus in the family Picornaviridae. Rhinovirus is the most common viral infectious agent in humans and is the predominant cause of the common cold, causing at least 50% of cold infections.
OverviewAI-generated
Rhinovirus is a genus of viruses within the family Picornaviridae. It belongs to the order Picornavirales, class Pisoniviricetes, and phylum Pisuviricota, under the kingdom Viruses. The parent taxon for this genus is Picornavirus. These organisms are classified as positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses.
The genus is associated with the common cold. It is included in the focus list of the WikiProject COVID-19 on Wikimedia. While the subject has 8,830 related entries in PubMed and is referenced by 256 other encyclopedia articles, there are zero recorded occurrences in the GBIF database.

The rhinovirus (from the "nose", , romanized: "of the nose", and the ) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Enterovirus in the family Picornaviridae. Rhinovirus is the most common viral infectious agent in humans and is the predominant cause of the common cold, causing at least 50% of cold infections.
The three species of rhinovirus (A, B, and C) include at least 165 recognized types that differ according to their surface antigens or genetics. They are among the smallest viruses, with diameters of about 30 nanometers. By comparison, other viruses, such as smallpox and vaccinia, are around ten times larger at about 300 nanometers, while influenza viruses are around 80–120 nm.
