Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human metapneumovirus (hMPV), which has a global distribution, is an important cause of acute respiratory tract infections, especially in children and immunocompromised patients. METHODS: We investigated the genetic variability of partial nucleoprotein (N) gene sequences of hMPV strains identified among young children in South India. The sequences of the N gene were compared with previously reported...
