Abstract

Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an emerging respiratory pathogen responsible for respiratory infections worldwide. This perspective emphasizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, virology, clinical features, diagnostics, and therapeutic strategies related to hMPV. It emphasizes current prevention and treatment approaches, underscoring the virus’s public health significance and advancements in research.
