Abstract excerpt
H uman metapneumovirus (HMPV; family Pneu- moviridae, genus Metapneumovirus) is a major cause of acute respiratory tract infections, especially in children and elderly persons (1,2). Its genome is 13.2 kb, containing 8 genes encoding 9 proteins. The G gene, around 654-867 nt acids sequence length, is the most variable nucleotide sequence in the whole genome of HMPV and has been widely used to study HMPV genetic...
