Solution
Rhinovirus
The rhinovirus is the most prevalent viral pathogen in humans and the main culprit behind the common cold.
In an endeavor to determine the cause of the common cold, human rhinoviruses (HRVs) were first identified in the 1950s.
In a regular cold, the rhinovirus does not infect the lungs
Colds are caused by rhinovirus infections.
Sore throats, ear infections, and sinus infections are all possible symptoms of rhinoviruses.
