1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) has been a major causative agent of acute respiratory infections in humans. Recently, two types of variant A2b subtype HMPV strains possessing a 111- or 180-nucleotide duplication (nt-dup) in the G gene (HMPV A2b180nt-dup and HMPV A2b111nt-dup, respectively) were detected in Japan, Spain, Vietnam, and China. Our surveillance for infectious agents in Yokohama City, Japan revealed that...
