With an unexpected increase of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) cases in northern China since late 2024, concerns arose whether novel hMPV variants triggered this epidemic. Utilizing the Beijing Respiratory Pathogen Surveillance System (RPSS), we conducted a genomic evolutionary analysis spanning 2014-2024 and revealed genetic information for the strains that caused the high rates of hMPV outbreaks during this...
