- Much antigenic variation
- Subtypes evolve and do not cross-protect

Virulence and Pathogenesis
- Cytopathic effect of all viruses is an overnight cell rounding and pyknosis
Epidemiology
- Very resistant
- Can survive several months on fomites
- Infect via upper respiratory tract or buccal cavity and spread to target organs after viremia
