Human MetapneumoVirus (HMPV)", a respiratory virus whose symptoms are usually similar to a cold.
Human Metapneumo Virus (HMPV) is a common respiratory virus that causes an upper respiratory infection (like a cold). It is a seasonal disease that usually occurs in the winter and early spring, similar to RSV and the flu.
Respiratory tract infection - practically indistinguishable from flu - for most people. First identified in the Netherlands in 2001, the virus spreads through direct contact between people or when someone touches surfaces contaminated with it.
HMPV is a non-segmented negative-strand RNA virus with a genome of ±13,300 nucleotides containing 8 genes encoding nine open reading frames (ORF), including three surface glycoproteins: the fusion protein (F),and the small hydrophobic protein (SH).
