Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV)

Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) strains are classified into two main groups: HMPV-A and HMPV-B. HMPV is a respiratory virus that causes infections similar to those caused by RSV and influenza, particularly in young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. It is associated with symptoms ranging from mild upper respiratory illness to bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Accurate detection is important for clinical assessment and outbreak monitoring.
Human Metapneumovirus PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting HMPV RNA in human samples together with other respiratory pathogens. These molecular diagnostics tools provide accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked versions for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) format, these multiplex PCR assays provide efficient, cost-effective, and reliable solutions for detecting common respiratory viruses in clinical and public health laboratories from clinical samples, and are suitable for applications such as respiratory virus research and screening, epidemiological studies, pediatric infection research, and public health surveillance.
