Otani K, Kimura R, Nagasawa N, Hayashi Y, Ohmiya S, Watanabe O, et al.
Microorganisms . 2025 Feb; 13(2). PMID: 40005750
To better understand the phylogenomics of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase () gene and HN protein in human parainfluenza virus type 4 (HPIV4), we performed phylogenomic analyses using various bioinformatics methods. The main...

Sci Rep . 2023 Aug; 13(1):13230. PMID: 37580339
Japan has implemented a cluster-based approach for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from the pandemic's beginning based on the transmission heterogeneity (overdispersion) of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, studies...
