IHigh prevalence of Bocavirus infection among young children in Shanghai and co-infection with other respiratory viruses |
Since the first discovery of Human Bocavirus (HBoV) in 2005, the detection of HBoV was reported worldwide. The researchers in Institut Pasteur of Shanghai have examined extensively the virological and serological characteristics of human bocavirus infection to find out the correlation between human bocavirus infection and humoral response, virus persistence, and co-infection with other respiratory viruses in children with acute respiratory infection.
HBoV, a novel member in the genus parvovirus, family Parvoviridae, was first identified in children with lower respiratory tract infection by a Sweden group in 2005.
