The epidemiology of the genetic sublineages of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and their
clinical relevance are not fully understood. We compared hMPV genotypes isolated in the
province of Bolzano in Northern Italy with strains from nearby Italian and Austrian regions by
sequencing of NP-and L-gene fragments. Our results suggest that similar strains cycle
through adjacent geographic areas, with the respective subtypes replacing each other on a
seasonal basis.
