*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

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

===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
