Human metapneumovirus infection
, 2007 Initially, human metapneumovirus (hMPV) was isolated from children with clinical symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in whom RSV could not be detected. Since then, numerous reports have described the detection of hMPV in clinical specimens from children, adults and the elderly (both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients ...

Bioconvergence and Non‐Human Primate Models in Human Metapneumovirus Research
Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 54, Issue 2, April 2025.ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) poses a significant global health threat. While nonhuman primates (NHPs) remain crucial models, ethical and economic limitations necessitate complementary approaches. Advanced bioconvergence technologies, including organoids, artificial intelligence (AI), and quantum computing, offer scalable, cost‐effective, and ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae exposure is associated with human metapneumovirus seroconversion and increased susceptibility to in vitro HMPV infection [PDF]
, 2011 It remains largely unknown which factors determine the clinical outcome of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infections. The aim of the present study was to analyse whether exposure to bacterial pathogens can influence HMPV infections. From 57 children, serum
