Consensus and variations in cell line specificity among human metapneumovirus strains.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) has been a notable etiological agent of acute respiratory infection in humans, but it was not discovered until 2001, because HMPV replicates only in a limited number of cell lines and the cytopathic effect (CPE) is often mild.

Human Metapneumovirus in Turkey Poults

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
This study was conducted to reexamine the hypothesis that human metapneumovirus (hMPV) will not infect turkeys. Six groups of 2-week-old turkeys (20 per group) were inoculated oculonasally with 1 of the following: noninfected cell suspension; hMPV ...

Investigations into the utility of real-time PCR for the detection, quantitation and characterisation of clinically relevant viruses [PDF]

, 2003
The use of PCR as a tool for the diagnostic virology and viral research laboratories has greatly increased in recent years, however the use of conventional PCR and amplicon detection systems can be a complex and relatively slow process that increases the

Bronchiolitis. Analysis of 10 consecutive epidemic seasons [PDF]

, 2016
Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospitalization in infants under 12 months. Our aims were to analyze epidemiological characteristics of infants with bronchiolitis over 10 consecutive seasons and to evaluate whether there are any clinical ...

A decade of human metapneumovirus in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infection: molecular epidemiology in central Vietnam, 2007–2017

Scientific Reports, 2023
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) can cause severe acute respiratory infection (ARI). We aimed to clarify the clinical and molecular epidemiological features of hMPV. We conducted an ARI surveillance targeting hospitalized children aged 1 month to 14 years in

Prevalence and clinical symptoms of human metapneumovirus infection in hospitalized patients [PDF]

, 2003
During a 17-month period, we performed retrospective analyses of the prevalence of and clinical symptoms associated with human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infection, among patients in a university hospital in The Netherlands.

The Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Human Metapneumovirus in Bulgaria, 2016–2019

Intervirology, 2021
Introduction: We investigated the prevalence of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) among patients with acute respiratory infections in Bulgaria, and performed genetic characterization of the F gene of these strains. Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs collected from

Human metapneumovirus epidemiological and evolutionary patterns in Coastal Kenya, 2007-11 [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important global cause of severe acute respiratory infections in young children and the elderly. The epidemiology of HMPV in sub-Saharan Africa is poorly described and factors that allow its recurrent ...

Characterization of human metapneumoviruses isolated from patients in North America. [PDF]

, 2002
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) was recently identified in The Netherlands and was linked to acute respiratory tract illness. In this study, 11 isolates from 10 patients with respiratory disease from Quebec, Canada, were tested by a reverse-transcriptase ...

Human Metapneumovirus Phosphoprotein Independently Drives Phase Separation and Recruits Nucleoprotein to Liquid-Like Bodies

mBio, 2022
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) inclusion bodies (IBs) are dynamic structures required for efficient viral replication and transcription. The minimum components needed to form IB-like structures in cells are the nucleoprotein (N) and the tetrameric ...
