To understand the genetic diversity and patterns of circulation of rhinoviruses (RV) and enteroviruses (EV) in Singapore, we retrospectively screened 2950 nasal swab samples collected from adults presenting to primary care services with signs of febrile illness in Singapore during 2007-2013 using sequencing and phylogenetic methods. Through sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, our results show the year-round circulation of the three rhinovirus species, A, B, and C. A diverse set of RV/EV serotypes were detected in Singapore with a predominance of RV-A in all years, whereas serotypes EV-C A21 and EV-D68 were only sporadically detected. This study highlights the previously unrecognized diversity and burden in the adult population in Singapore.

Software program for phylogenetic analyses of large datasets under maximum likelihood.
View all literature mentionsA graphical viewer of phylogenetic trees and a program for producing publication-ready figures. It is designed to display summarized and annotated trees produced by BEAST.
View all literature mentionsSoftware package as multiple alignment program for amino acid or nucleotide sequences. Can align up to 500 sequences or maximum file size of 1 MB. First version of MAFFT used algorithm based on progressive alignment, in which sequences were clustered with help of Fast Fourier Transform. Subsequent versions have added other algorithms and modes of operation, including options for faster alignment of large numbers of sequences, higher accuracy alignments, alignment of non-coding RNA sequences, and addition of new sequences to existing alignments.
View all literature mentionsSoftware package to analyse nucleotide sequence data and identify evidence of genetic recombination. RDP3 is version of RDP program for characterizing recombination events in DNA-sequence alignments. RDP4 is version of RDP program for detection and analysis of recombination patterns in virus genomes.
