iSpecimen (NASDAQ: ISPC), a leading online biospecimen marketplace, has secured suppliers for human metapneumovirus (hMPV) specimens amid growing concerns over the virus outbreak in China.

hMPV spreads through respiratory droplets and can be severe in elderly, immunocompromised, and chronically ill patients. Unlike COVID-19, flu, and RSV, there is currently no vaccine available for hMPV. The virus is difficult to differentiate from these other respiratory infections.
