Cases of human metapneumovirus, or HMPV, are hitting certain states, including California and New Jersey. HMPV can cause upper and lower respiratory disease, and currently there is no vaccine to prevent it and no specific antiviral therapy to treat it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
