AB Picornaviruses  represent  a  very  large  virus  family  with  respect  to  the  number  of  members  but  one  of  the  smallest  in  terms  of  virion  size  and  genetic  complexity.  They  include  two  major  groups  of  human  pathogens:  enteroviruses  and  rhinoviruses.  Enteroviruses  are  transient  inhabitants  of  the  human  alimentary  tract  and  may  be  isolated  from  the  throat  or  lower  intestine.  Rhinoviruses  are  associated  with  the  respiratory  tract  and  isolated  chiefly  from  the  nose  and  throat.  Less  ­common  picornaviruses  associated  with  human  illness  include  hepatitis  A  virus,  parechovirus,  cardiovirus,  and  Aichi  virus.  Several  genera  of  picornaviruses  are  also  associated  with  ­animal,  plant,  and  insect  disease.
