Recent Molecular Evolution of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV): Subdivision of HMPV A2b Strains [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a major etiological agent of acute respiratory infections in humans. HMPV has been circulating worldwide for more than six decades and is currently divided into five agreed-upon subtypes: A1, A2a, A2b, B1, and B2. Recently,

Non-Coding RNAs and Their Role in Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) Infections

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Recent high-throughput sequencing revealed that only 2% of the transcribed human genome codes for proteins, while the majority of transcriptional products are non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs).

Human Metapneumovirus Is Capable of Entering Cells by Fusion with Endosomal Membranes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2015
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family, is a leading cause of lower respiratory illness. Although receptor binding is thought to initiate fusion at the plasma membrane for paramyxoviruses, the entry mechanism for HMPV is ...
