Human bocavirus infection in young children with acute respiratory tract infection in Lanzhou, China zheng2010human
Prospective 1-year study in Lanzhou, China, enrolling 406 children <14 years old with acute respiratory tract infection. Human bocavirus (HBoV) was detected in 29 children by real-time PCR using nasopharyngeal aspirates; viral loads in positives ranged from 5.80×10^2 to 9.72×10^8 copies/mL. Coinfections with other respiratory viruses were common (notably RSV).

Human bocavirus (HBoV) genome quantification by real-time PCR in nasopharyngeal aspirates; values reported as genome copies per mL.
Measurements only — no shedding model is fitted to this analyte, usually because it is sampled once per participant, leaving no trajectory to fit, or because nothing was ever detected. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the assay's censoring limit. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
