Abstract excerpt
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is one of the leading causes of respiratory illness (RI), primarily in infants. Worldwide, two genetic lineages (A and B) of HMPV are circulating that are antigenically distinct and can each be further divided into genetic sublineages. Surveillance combined with large-scale whole-genome sequencing studies of HMPV are scarce but would help to identify viral evolutionary dynamics. Here,...
