Human Metapneumovirus in Children, Singapore

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Four hundred specimens were collected from pediatric patients hospitalized in Singapore; 21 of these specimens tested positive for human metapneumovirus (HMPV), with the A2 genotype predominating.

Improved detection of respiratory viruses in pediatric outpatients with acute respiratory illness by real-time PCR using nasopharyngeal flocked swabs [PDF]

, 1999
Detection of respiratory viruses by realtime multiplexed PCR (M-PCR) and of RSV by M-PCR and immunofluorescence(IF) was evaluated using specimens collected by nasopharyngeal flocked swab(NFS) and nasal wash(NW).

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) is a leading cause of respiratory disease among children, immunocompromised individuals, and the elderly. Currently, no vaccines or antivirals are available for the treatment of HMPV infections. ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus

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

The global burden of human metapneumovirus-associated acute respiratory infections in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The Lancet Healthy Longevity
BACKGROUND The human metapneumovirus (hMPV)-associated disease burden in older adults remains under-researched. We aimed to systematically estimate the global burden of hMPV-associated disease in older adults.

Molecular diagnosis of human metapneumovirus

The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2012
Background The recent discovery of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) as a major respiratory pathogen has been made possible by means of reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR).

Human Metapneumovirus, Australia, 2001–2004

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
We examined 10,025 respiratory samples collected for 4 years (2001–2004) and found a 7.1% average annual incidence of human metapneumovirus. The epidemic peak of infection was late winter to spring, and genotyping showed a change in predominant viral ...
