(RNA VIRUSES) Lesson 19: Paramyxoviridae Flashcards
order Mononegavirales includes viruses within the ff families
Paramyxoviridae
Filoviridae
Bornaviridae
Rhabdoviridae
Families Paramyxoviridae, Filoviridae, Bornaviridae, and Rhabdoviridae are ancestrally related as reflected by their common characteristics such as:
ENUMERATE
✔ single- stranded genome of negative-sense RNA
✔ replication strategy and gene order
✔ virion morphology that includes an envelope

Paramyxoviridae
General description of Paramyxoviridae
✔ cause a number of serious respiratory and/or systemic
diseases of humans, animals, and bird
✔ virions are enveloped, pleomorphic (filamentous or spherical; approximately 150
nm or more in diameter)
✔ contain a genome of linear, negative-sense, single- stranded RNA
✔ viral nucleocapsid (ND virus) has helical symmetry (herringbone pattern) and is
approximately 13–18 nm in diameter
✔ Paramyxoviridae are monotypic
pattern of the helical symmetry of the Paramyxoviridae nucleocapsid
herringbone pattern
glycoproteins present at the surface or spikes of the Paramyxoviridae
✔ Fusion protein
✔ Hemagglutinin
✔ Neuraminidase
