HMPV: Should we be concerned about this ‘new’ virus?
In this bonus episode of LSHTM Viral, we explore human
metapneumovirus (HMPV), a respiratory virus recently making headlines due to an outbreak in China and rising cases in the UK. But is this something we should be worried about?
Host Karl Byrne is joined by Professor Martin Hibberd, an
expert in emerging infectious diseases at LSHTM, to break down what HMPV is,
how it compares to other respiratory viruses like flu and RSV, and why it’s unlikely to cause a pandemic. They discuss how to protect yourself from seasonal respiratory infections and what global health experts are watching for in future outbreaks.
