Epidemiology of human metapneumovirus.
Since the discovery of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in 2001, the virus has been identified worldwide. hMPV is a common respiratory pathogen, particularly in infants and young children. The virus is associated with both upper and lower respiratory tract infections and may be a trigger for asthma. At least two major genotypes of hMPV circulate during community outbreaks. Whether these genotypes r...

متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in Cambodia
Background First identified in 2001, human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a novel pathogen and causative agent of acute respiratory tract infection. Re-infection with hMPV is common, and currently there is no available vaccine against this virus. Two genetic subgroups (A and B) have been identified, both of which can be divided further into at least two distinct sub-lineages. Here we report the resu...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus.
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a paramyxovirus identified in 2001, is a leading cause of respiratory tract infections in both children and adults. Seroprevalence studies demonstrate that the primary infection occurs before the age of 5 years, and humans are reinfected throughout life. The four subgroups of HMPV occur with year-to-year variability, and infection with one subgroup confers some ser...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology and Evolution of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Metapneumovirus
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) and human metapneumovirus (HMPV) are ubiquitous respiratory pathogens of the Pneumovirinae subfamily of the Paramyxoviridae. Two major surface antigens are expressed by both viruses; the highly conserved fusion (F) protein, and the extremely diverse attachment (G) glycoprotein. Both viruses comprise two genetic groups, A and B. Circulation frequencies of...
