Total for all viruses includes disease burden of mixed infections, which are not shown as only a proportion of samples were tested for mixed infections, but are included as this gives a closer estimate of the total disease burden of respiratory viruses.

b

In 16–64 year olds, no infections with PIV-1, HMPV or HRVs were associated with respiratory presentations, and in over 65 year olds, no single infections with PIV-2 were identified.
