Trends of Human Metapneumovirus Outbreaks in Bangladesh: Probable Risks and Preventive Strategies

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is one of the major pathogens associated with respiratory tract infection and is a rising concern for people with compromised immunity worldwide. Amid the global concern about the increased incidence of hMPV, we found a significant lack of studies on the epidemiology of this virus in Bangladesh.

Development of a Rapid Isothermal Assay for Detection of Adenovirus Types Important in Respiratory Infections

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for human adenoviruses (HAdVs) causing respiratory infections usually target the hexon gene. However, new HAdV types with substantial variations in the hexon gene may not be detected. Thus, we focus on NAATs based on a conserved region in the penton gene to detect all HAdV types causing ...

Community‐Acquired Chlamydia psittaci Severe Pneumonia: A Case Report

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Chlamydia psittaci, the causative agent of psittacosis, is an intracellular bacterium typically transmitted from birds to humans, leading to atypical pneumonia. We present a case of a 60‐year‐old man with no reported bird exposure but a history of working as a chief cook, potentially exposed to poultry.

RAPID DIFFERENTIATION OF VACCINE AND FIELD STRAINS OF AVIAN METAPNEUMOVIRUS OF SUBTYPE B BY RESTRICTION ENZYME DIGESTION OF PCR PRODUCTS

, 2012
Live vaccines predominantly control avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) infection in the poultry industry but these can persist after application and revert to virulence.

Advancing the field of viroporins—Structure, function and pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 39

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 181, Issue 22, Page 4450-4490, November 2024.
Viroporins possess important potential as antiviral targets due to their critical roles during virus life cycles, spanning from virus entry to egress. Although the antiviral amantadine targets the M2 viroporin of influenza A virus, successful progression of other viroporin inhibitors into clinical use remains challenging.

The avian lung-associated immune system [PDF]

, 2006
The lung is a major target organ for numerous viral and bacterial diseases of poultry. To control this constant threat birds have developed a highly organized lung-associated immune system.

Centralised Air Sampling From a Ventilation System for the Surveillance of Respiratory Pathogens

Indoor Air, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background: The COVID‐19 pandemic has triggered a renewed interest in indoor air sampling for infectious disease surveillance. However, scalability is currently limited, as samples are usually collected in a single indoor space. An alternative is to place the device within a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC), but this approach ...

Isolation and characterization of avian metapneumovirus from chickens in Korea

Journal of Veterinary Science, 2010
Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) causes upper respiratory tract infections in chickens and turkeys. Although the swollen head syndrome (SHS) associated with aMPV in chickens has been reported in Korea since 1992, this is the study isolating aMPV from chickens in this country.

Human metapneumovirus - what we know now [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2018
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory infection, particularly in children, immunocompromised patients, and the elderly. HMPV, which is closely related to avian metapneumovirus subtype C, has circulated for at least 65 years,

Development of a Bioaerosol Sampling Method for Airborne Pathogen Detection with Focus on SARS‐CoV‐2

Indoor Air, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
As worldwide evidence shows that the predominant transmission route of SARS‐CoV‐2 and other respiratory pathogens is airborne, the need for suitable methods for the sampling of bioparticles directly from the air is more urgent than ever. The present paper describes the development of a method for the collection of biological aerosols, using a ...
