I have searched all over the internet trying to find out what type of host cells Rhinoviruses and other cold causing virus infect. I honestly can't find it. Does anyone know?

Also, does the common cold follow the lytic or lysogenic cycle?
I assume the lytic.

Rhinoviruses have two main modes of transmission: In the past it was obvious that these viruses were transmitted directly from person-to-person via aerosols of respiratory droplets. However, now they are known to be transmitted indirectly via respiratory droplets that are deposited on the hands and then transported by fingers to the nose or eyes.

Rhinoviruses occur worldwide causing disease especially at schools for example which enhance transmission during fall and winter. They show symptoms such as fever, cough, and nasal congestion. The frequency of colds is high in childhood and decreases during adulthood most probably because of the possession of immunity.
