=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, of interest including:
 
*Subfamily: ''Paramoyxovirinae'':
 
**[[Bovine Parainfluenza - 3 (PI-3)| Bovine Parainfluenza 3]]
 
**[[Canine Parainfluenza - 2 (aka Parainfluenza - 5)]]
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Murine Parainfluenza - 1 (Sendai virus)|Murine Parainfluenza 1 (Sendai virus)]]
 
**[[Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV)]] - avian paramyxovirus serotype 1
 
**Avian Paramyxoviruses serotypes 2-9
 
**[[Paramyxoviridae#Reptilian Paramyxoviruses|Reptilian Paramyxoviruses]]
 
**Mumps
 
**Genera: ''Morbilliviruses''
 
***[[Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)]]
 
***Rinderpest
 
***Pest de petit ruminant (PPR)
 
***Measels
 
***Seal virus - phocine distemper
 
***Dolphin Morbillivirus
 
***[[Paramyxoviridae#Hendra Virus|Hendra virus]]
 
***[[Paramyxoviridae#Nipah Virus|Nipah virus]]
 
*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
 
 
 
=Paramyxoviridae by Species=
 
 
 
==Avian==
 
===[[Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV)]]===
 
 
 
==Canine==
 
===[[Canine Parainfluenza - 2 (aka Parainfluenza - 5)]]===
 
 
 
===[[Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)]]===
 
 
 
==Bovine==
 
===[[Bovine Parainfluenza - 3 (PI-3)]]===
 
 
 
===[[Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV)]]===
 
 
 
==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
 
*Causes porcine respiratory and neurologic syndrome in pigs
 
*Zoonosis transmitted by fruit bats
 
*Nipah virus is an emerging disease with the first outbreak in 1999 in Malaysia
 
 
 
==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
