Detection rates of eukaryotic viruses among children with ARTIs. Detection rates based on metagenomics for respiratory viruses (a), and anelloviruses (b), among children with ARTIs. Comparison of detection rates as determined by PCR-based assays between single-ARTI (blue) and multiple-ARTIs children (red) for four most common pathogenic respiratory viruses (i.e., HRV, HEV, IFV and RSV) (c), and three main anelloviruses (i.e., TTV, TTMV and TTMDV) (d). In addition to the top three most abundant viruses (HRV, HEV, IFV), RSV was also included as a control because it is one of the major causes of lower respiratory tract infections during early life, and it is associated with recurrent asthma in later life
