Paramoyxoviridae was reclassified in 2000 to include 2 subfamilies and 5 genera, of interest including:
 
−
*Subfamily: ''[[Paramyxovirinae]]'':
 
  
−
*Subfamily: ''[[Pneumovirinae]]''

==Antigenic Variation==
 
−
*Antigenic conservation allows some cross protection by vaccination:
 
−
**Conservation of major virus-specific F/HN antigens means vaccines protect against '''all isolates''' of the same virus
 
−
**Minor morbillivirus-specific epitopes on F allows some cross protection between '''canine distemper, measles, and rinderpest'''
 
−
*Antigenic "fingerprinting" is possible for some viruses based on minor variable epitopes of HN, F and NP on specific isolates as detected by monoclonal antibodies
 
−
**These are detected by immunostaining infected cells
