"As winter settles over Australia, it’s not just the drop in temperature we
notice – there’s also a sharp rise in respiratory illnesses. Most of us are
familiar with the usual winter players such as COVID, influenza and RSV
(respiratory syncytial virus), which often dominate news headlines and public
health messaging.
But scientists are now paying closer attention to another virus that’s been
spreading somewhat under the radar: human metapneumovirus (hMPV).
Although it’s not new, hMPV is now being recognised as a significant
contributor to seasonal respiratory infections, especially among young
children, older people, and people with weaker immune systems.
So what do you need to know about this winter lurgy?"
