Distribution of HMPV and RSV genetic groups determined from sequences collected between August 2011 and January 2014 from the 5 African countries. Panel A: Distribution of HMPV group A and B among cases and controls. Panel B: Distribution of RSV group A and B among cases and controls
HMPV, human metapneumovirus; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus
N/B: There is no statistical significance difference in distribution of cases and control among the subgroups for both HMPV and RSV
