Family: Pneumoviridae

Genus: Metapneumovirus

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus Metapneumovirus  possess 8 genes. They lack the two promoter proximal NS1 and NS2 genes found in the members of the genus Orthopneumovirus. The gene order is N-P-M-F-M2-SH-G-L. Alignment of the L proteins of the metapneumoviruses shows a moderate level of conservation between the human and avian viruses. Their genome length is smaller than that of the members of the other genus.
