Title Do rhinoviruses follow the neutral theory? The role of cross-immunity in maintaining the diversity of the common cold
Date 2006
Description Over 100 serotypes of rhinoviruses, one of the primary causes of the common cold, co-circulate in the human population. This high diversity makes it effectively impossible to develop a vaccine, even for those at risk of complications due to asthma or cystic fibrosis.
