Molecular 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...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Brazil
We describe the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of 111 children attending clinics and hospitals in Aracaju, northeast Brazil, with acute respiratory infections attributable to human metapneumovirus (HMPV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or both in May and June 2002. Fifty-three (48%) children were infected with RSV alone, 19 (17%) with HMPV alone, and 8 (7%) had RSV/HMPV co-infec...
متن کاملEpidemiology, Molecular Epidemiology and Evolution of Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus
The bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is an enveloped, negative sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the pneumovirus genus within the family Paramyxoviridae. BRSV has been recognized as a major cause of respiratory disease in young calves since the early 1970s. The analysis of BRSV infection was originally hampered by its characteristic lability and poor growth in vitro. Howeve...
متن کاملmolecular study of respiratory syncytial virus, human rhinovirus and human metapneumovirus, detected in children with acute wheezing
objectives we assessed the prevalence of three common viruses including; respiratory syncytial virus (rsv), human rhinovirus (hrv), and human metapneumovirus (hmpv), in children with acute wheezing. patients and methods ninety six wheezy children, 48 males (50%) and 48 females (50%)under the age of 5 years, were enrolled in the study. all patients visited as outpatients or inpatients when refer...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus and Severity of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease
We screened 23 children with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease and 23 children with mild RSV disease for human metapneumovirus (HMPV). Although HMPV was circulating in Connecticut, none of the 46 RSV-infected patients tested positive for HMPV. In our study population, HMPV did not contribute to the severity of RSV disease.
