Human Bocavirus (HboV) was recently cloned by a systematic screening of nasopharyngeal samples from children hospitalized for respiratory tract infections. This virus, genus Bocavirus, family Parvoviridae, was identified by screening for its DNA in 5% of nasopharyngeal aspirates, as reported in several studies. It may be responsible for upper and lower respiratory tract infections of young children under five years with a peak rate in winter. Because of a high rate of viral co-infections, its pathogenic role in these infections should be documented. Further studies are required to determine the role of this possibly systemic virus in other affections.
人博卡病毒（HboV）是最近通过对因呼吸道感染住院的儿童的鼻咽样本进行系统筛查而克隆出来的。如几项研究报告所述，这种病毒属于细小病毒科博卡病毒属，在5%的鼻咽抽吸物中通过筛查其DNA得以鉴定。它可能是导致五岁以下幼儿上、下呼吸道感染的原因，冬季发病率最高。由于病毒合并感染率很高，其在这些感染中的致病作用应有文献记载。需要进一步研究以确定这种可能具有全身性的病毒在其他病症中的作用。
