Viruses belonging to the species Human
rhinovirus C are distinct from HRV-A and HRV-B. These viruses have been referred to as HRV-A2 (Arden et al., 2006;
McErlean et al., 2007) due to its closer relationship with
HRV-A in some analyses, while others have called them HRV-C (Lamson
et al., 2006; Lau et al., 2007; Lee et al.,
2007; McErlean et al., 2008) or HRV-X (Kistler et al.,
2007).
A proposal for the designation of HRV-C types has been published (Simmonds
et al., 2010).
