Section 1

This image shows the extent to which HMPV infection can cause harm. The scan was taken 27 days after the immunocompromised patient was admitted to the hospital, and depicts permanent lung damage. The image was taken by Dokos et al (2013).


Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.

Section 2

Results of a VLP vaccine test performed in a mouse model. The study was performed by Lèvy et al in 2013, and the figure demonstrates that their vaccine tests were successful in inducing an immune response in the mice.


Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.

Section 3


Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.

Conclusion


Overall paper length should be 3,000 words, with at least 3 figures.
