Serotypes 1-4
- canine paramyxovirus, parainfluenza virus serotype 2: one cause of kennel cough
- parainfluenza serotype 3: infect cattle, sheep, horse
New castle disease virus belongs to what serotype?
Avian paramyxovirus serotype 1
Sendal virus
Murine parainfluenza virus type 1 (hemagglutinating virus of Japan)
- mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, occasionally pigs
- homologous to human parainfluenza virus type 1 but not infect humans
Mumps
Measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella
Pneumorvirus
- human respiratory syncytial virus
- bovine RSV
- avian pneumorvirus
- pneumorvirus in mice
Bovine RSV
Affects young beef/dairy cattle
- component of bovine respiratory disease complex due to frequency of occurrence, predilection for lower respiratory tract, ability to predispose respiratory tract to secondary bacterial infection
- high morbidity, up to 20% fatality rate

- ssRNA, negative sense, non segmented
- 6+ proteins
Envelop proteins
- HN, H, G: viral attach proteins
- M: assembly of virions
- F: factor active in fusion of cells, hemolysis, viral entry
Nucleocapsid protiens
- NP: protect viral RNA
- P: possible part of transcription complex
- L: polymerase
