=Introduction=
 
 
 
=Morphology=
 
*Single-stranded negative-sense unsegmented RNA virus
 
*Reassortment and antigenic shift cannot occur
 
*Spike proteins include
 
**'''HN''' (Haemagglutinin and Neuraminidase)
 
**'''F''' (Fusion glycoprotein), which allows the virus to fuse directly to the plasma membrane and release its RNA
 
***F also causes syncitium to form, which aids diagnosis
 
***Host antibody response to the F protein is the basis for vaccination
 
 
 
=Virulence=
 
*Paramyxoviruses replicate in the epithelium of the upper respiratory tract as well as occasionally in the gut
 
**Sites of spike protein cleavage
 
*Virulence varies by virus, see below
 
 
 
=Types and Subtypes=
 
Paramoyxoviridae was reclassified in 2000 to include 2 subfamilies and 5 genera:
 
*''Paramoyxovirinae'':
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Bovine Parainfluenza - 3 (PI-3)| Bovine Parainfluenza 3]]
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Canine Parainfluenza - 2|Canine Parainfluenza 2]]
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Murine Parainfluenza - 1 (Sendai virus)|Murine Parainfluenza 1 (Sendai virus)]]
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV)|Newcastle Disease (NDV)]] - avian paramyxovirus serotype 1
 
**Avian Paramyxoviruses serotypes 2-9
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Reptilian Paramyxoviruses|Reptilian Paramyxoviruses]]
 
**Mumps
 
**''Morbilliviruses''
 
***[[Paramyxoviridae#Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)|Canine Distemper (CDV)]]
 
***Rinderpest
 
***Pest de petit ruminant (PPR)
 
***Measels
 
***Seal virus - phocine distemper
 
***Dolphin Morbillivirus
 
***[[Paramyxoviridae#Hendra Virus|Hendra virus]]
 
***[[Paramyxoviridae#Nipah Virus|Nipah virus]]
 
*''Pneumovirinae''
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV)|Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV)]]
 
**Turkey Rhinotracheitis Virus
 
 
 
=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
 
 
 
=Paramyxoviridae by Species=
 
 
 
==Avian==
 
===Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV)===
 
====Hosts====
 
*Gallinaceous birds, pigeons, parrots, finches
 
*Subclinical carriers: ducks, ostriches
 
*Causes conjunctivitis in humans
 
====Pathogenesis====
 
*Transmission via aerosol and direct contact
 
*Disease ranges from subclinical [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology|respiratory tract infections]] -> torticollis -> haemorrhages and death
 
====Diagnosis====
 
Two diagnostic tests currently exist:
 
*Animal test:
 
**Samples of trachea and gut of 20 birds are tested in eggs
 
**'''HI''' using anti-NDV serum (to differentiate '''HA''' caused by [[Orthomyxoviridae#Avian Influenza|avian influenza]]
 
**Virulence of isolate tested by the speed it kills chicks
 
*DNA test (which will soon replace the animal test):
 
**Sequencing the cleavage site of H gene
 
**The more basic amino acids the more virulent the virus
 
====Control====
 
*Newcastle Disease is '''NOTIFIABLE'''
 
*Vaccination of chickens and racing pigeons
 
*Surveillance of imported exotic birds
 
*Isolation of infected stock
 
*Infected premises to be culled and firebreak cull if spread
 
 
 
==Canine==
 
===Canine Parainfluenza - 2 (aka Parainfluenza - 5)===
 
====Hosts====
 
*Infects '''dogs'''
 
====Pathogenesis====
 
*May cause mild upper respiratory infection, [[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of rhinitis|rhinitis]]
 
*Virus shed for a short time only
 
====Diagnosis====
 
====Control====
 
*'''Live attenuated vaccine''' may be incorporated in multivalent vaccines
 
*Immunity is short-lived
 
*Only reduces severity of clinical signs
 
====Secondary Concerns====
 
*Also associated with '''kennel cough''' ([[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Infectious canine tracheitis|Infectious canine tracheitis]]), together with [[Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella avium|''Bordetella bronchiseptica'']]
 
 
 
===Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)===
 
====Hosts====
 
*Dogs, ferrets, seals, lions, mink
 
*Has been a major pathogen of dogs prior to vaccination
 
====Pathogenesis====
 
*Variable mortality depending on virulence
 
*May occur subclinically
 
*Involvement of central nervous system generally results in death
 
*Aerosol infection
 
*Infects alveolar [[Macrophages - WikiBlood|macrophages]] or [[Oropharynx - Pathology|oropharynx]]
 
*Multiplies in the bronchial and other lymph nodes, infects monocytes and dendritic cells
 
*Viraemia
 
*Spreads via monocytes to a variety of epithelium depending upon the strain of virus
 
*[[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Canine distemper|Respiratory]] and alimentary tracts, skin and later (1-5 wk. post infection) to the brain
 
*'''Clinical signs''':
 
**Mucopurulent oculonasal discharge
 
**Keratitis
 
**[[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Interstitial pneumonia|Interstitial pneumonia]]
 
**Severe clinical pneumonia follows secondary infection with [[Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella avium|''Bordetella bronchiseptica'']]
 
**Smelly sometimes bloody diarrhoea
 
**Eruptions on the skin including hyperkeratosis of the nose and pads (hardpad)
 
**[[PNS Repsonses to Injury - Pathology#Segmental Demyelination|Demyelination]] (especially in cerebellum) -> incoordination or muscle tremors -> paralysis and coma or convulsions -> death
 
**Encephalitis
 
**Secondary pyogenic infections associated with immunosuppression and damage to epithelia
 
**Recovered animals may have persistent or spasmodic chorea
 
**The severity of the disease may vary; if enough neutralising antibody develops in the early stages, the virus maybe kept restricted largely to the lymph nodes.
 
====Diagnosis====
 
*May present as series of infections
 
*'''Immunocytochemistry''' of inclusion bodies
 
**Intracytoplasmic inclusions may be found in most affected tissues
 
**Inclusions persist longest in the brain (may be intranuclear) and the alveolar macrophages
 
**Sections of fixed bronchial tissue, lung, macrophages, bladder may be used or nasal or conjunctival epithelium from live animals
 
*Giant cells may be seen in the alveoli
 
====Control====
 
*Live attenuated virus vaccines given at 10 and 12 weeks of age
 
**Some now given at 7 and 10 weeks to allow socialisation
 
*Homeopathic vaccines do not work
 
*Live attenuated vaccines may kill some wildlife therefore '''Iscom vaccine''' is used in seal sanctuaries
 
====Secondary Concerns====
 
*Can contribute to [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#In Dogs|Infectious canine tracheitis]]
 
*May be involved in [[Pancreas Inflammatory - Pathology#Chronic interstitial pancreatitis|chronic interstitial pancreatitis]]
 
*May cause [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Retention of elongated primary trabeculae|growth retardation lattice]]
 
*May also trigger latent [[Tissue cyst-forming coccidia|Toxoplasmosis]] due to suppressing effect on lymphoid tissue
 
 
 
==Bovine==
 
===Bovine Parainfluenza - 3 (PI-3)===
 
*Virulence varies with isolates
 
*Cessation of [[Respiratory System General Introduction - Pathology#Mucociliary escalator|ciliary clearance]] and epithelial necrosis predisposes to secondary bacterial infections -> cough
 
*May cause [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Parainfluenza- 3|rhinitis]] of cattle
 
*With other agents causes [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of calves|calf pneumonia ]]
 
**Together with managemental factors (overcrowding, poor ventilation, high humidity, deprivation of colostrum and stress caused by transport or mixing of stock)
 
*'''Diagnosis'''
 
**Diseased lung tissue from dead animals or centrifuged cells from lung lavage
 
**Virus is too fragile for cell culture isolation (often inactivated intransport)
 
**Antigen detection by ''' immunocytochemistry''' for intracytoplasmic viral inclusions containing labelled viral protein
 
**Serology: 4-fold rise in ELISA antibody in paired serum samples from several animals
 
*'''Control'''
 
**Improve managemental factors
 
**All-in, all-out systems
 
**Some vaccination
 
***Temperature sensitive mutant that replicates at 34<sup>o</sup>C but not at 37<sup>o</sup>C
 
***Re-infection is common
 
 
 
===Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV)===
 
*'''Pathogenesis''':
 
**More serious than [[Paramyxoviridae#Parainfluenza -3 (PI-3)|PI-3]]
 
**Causes [Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Respiratory syncytial virus|respiratory infection]]
 
**Replicates in nasal epithelium -> throughout upper respiratory tract -> bronchial tree
 
**Syncytia form -> shed into bronchioles
 
**Complications include [[Lungs Ventilation - Pathology#Emphysema|emphysema]] and [[Lungs Circulatory - Pathology#Pulmonary oedema|oedema]], drop in milk yield in adult cattle
 
*'''Epidemiology''':
 
**Subclinical reinfections are important in spreading disease
 
**More than 70% of cattle in the UK have antibodies to BRSV
 
*'''Diagnosis''' is same as for [[Paramyxoviridae#Parainfluenza -3 (PI-3)|PI-3]]
 
*'''Control'''
 
**Improve husbansry as in [[Paramyxoviridae#Parainfluenza -3 (PI-3)|PI-3]]
 
**Vaccines are available but not effective as need to stimulate [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood#Cytotoxic CD8+|cytotoxic T-cells]]

==Equine==
 
===Hendra Virus===
 
*Equine Paramyxovirus
 
*Causes [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Hendra virus|respiratory infections]] with respiratory distress and paralysis
 
*Potentially zoonotic (beware palpating inside the throat for obstruction)
 
 
 
==Porcine==
 
===Nipah Virus===
 
*Infects pigs and humans
 
*Humans exposed to pig blood are at risk
 
 
 
==Reptiles==
 
===Reptilian Paramyxoviruses===
 
*Infect central nervous system and lungs
 
*Kill particularly '''snakes'''
 
*Healthy reptiles may be carriers
 
*Testing by serology - '''HI test'''
 
*Aim to keep virus free collection and prevent spread back into the wild
 
 
 
==Rodentia==
 
===Murine Parainfluenza - 1 (Sendai virus)===
 
*Endemic in many '''mouse''' colonies
 
*Most mice show no symptoms due to maternal antibodies
 
*But minor respiratory lesions may invalidate carcinogenic or toxicological studies
 
*Immunological studies also confused due to virus activating [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood#Natural Killer (NK) Cells|NK cells]] via high circulating [[Innate Immune System - WikiBlood#Interferons|IF]] 3-4 days post-infection
 
*Control achieved by:
 
**Purchasing specific pathogen free (SPF) mice
 
**Kill whole colony in an outbreak -> disinfection -> formalin fumigation
