Global Genetic Diversity of Human Metapneumovirus Fusion Gene

Global Genetic Diversity of Human Metapneumovirus Fusion Gene

We analyzed 64 human metapneumovirus strains from eight countries. Phylogenetic analysis identified two groups (A and B, amino acid identity 93%–96%) and four subgroups. Although group A strains predominated, accounting for 69% of all strains, as many B as A strains were found in persons ≥3 years of...
