Molecular Evolution of the <i>Fusion</i> (<i>F</i>) Genes in Human Metapneumovirus Genotype B
2025-12-23
Abstract excerpt
Human metapneumovirus genotype B (HMPV-B) is an important respiratory pathogen, requiring detailed elucidation of the evolutionary and antigenic features of its fusion (F) gene. Using 500 sequences collected between 1982 and 2024, we investigated the molecular evolution, phylodynamics, and structural epitope landscape of the HMPV-B F gene. Time-scaled phylogeny dated the divergence of sublineages B1 and B2 to arou...
