Human metapneumovirus life cycle: Avian metapneumovirus has been divided

Avian metapneumovirus has been divided into four subgroups—A, B, C and D. Bayesian estimates suggest that human metapneumovirus emerged between 1875 and 1889 and diverged from avian metapneumovirus around 1800. Most people get HMPV before they turn 5. You can get HMPV again, but symptoms are usually mild after your first infection. Is human metapneumovirus just a cold? Human metapneumovirus most often causes symptoms similar to a cold, but some people can get very sick. Structure, genetic material, and replication cycle of human metapneumovirus (hMPV). (A) hMPV is a negative-sense and single-stranded RNA virus, with nine structural proteins in its genome. These ... Abstract Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an emerging respiratory pathogen with a significant global health impact, especially in children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Since its identification in 2001, hMPV has been recognized as a major contributor to acute respiratory infections (ARIs), ranging from mild upper respiratory tract infections to severe lower respiratory tract illnesses such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia. This review provides a detailed overview of hMPV ...
