Differential Features of Fusion Activation within the Paramyxoviridae [PDF]
Paramyxovirus (PMV) entry requires the coordinated action of two envelope glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (RBP) and fusion protein (F). The sequence of events that occurs during the PMV entry process is tightly regulated.

Problems of classification in the family Paramyxoviridae [PDF]
A number of unassigned viruses in the family Paramyxoviridae need to be classified either as a new genus or placed into one of the seven genera currently recognized in this family. Furthermore, numerous new paramyxoviruses continue to be discovered. However, attempts at classification have highlighted the difficulties that arise by applying historic ...

Melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) is involved in the innate immune response to Paramyxoviridae infection in vivo. [PDF]
The early host response to pathogens is mediated by several distinct pattern recognition receptors. Cytoplasmic RNA helicases including RIG-I and MDA5 have been shown to respond to viral RNA by inducing interferon (IFN) production.

Probable Human Infection with a Newly Described Virus in the Family Paramyxoviridae
After an apparently new virus in the family Paramyxoviridae was isolated from pigs in August 1997, an investigation was carried out to assess its risk for humans.

An Apparently New Virus (Family Paramyxoviridae) Infectious for Pigs, Humans, and Fruit Bats [PDF]
We isolated an apparently new virus in the family Paramyxoviridae from stillborn piglets with deformities at a piggery in New South Wales, Australia. In 1997, the pregnancy rate and litter size at the piggery decreased markedly, while the proportion of ...

Members of the family Paramyxoviridae cause most devastating diseases of animals and humans. In particular, the viruses causing rinderpest, canine distemper, Newcastle disease, measles, and mumps have arguably caused more morbidity and mortality than any other single group of related viruses in history.

Significant differences in nucleocapsid morphology within the Paramyxoviridae
Nucleocapsid (N) proteins from representative viruses of three genera within the Paramyxoviridae were expressed in insect cells using recombinant baculoviruses. RNA-containing structures, which appear morphologically identical to viral nucleocapsids, were isolated and subsequently imaged under a transmission electron microscope.

Type I and Type II Interferon Antagonism Strategies Used by Paramyxoviridae: Previous and New Discoveries, in Comparison [PDF]
Paramyxoviridae is a viral family within the order of Mononegavirales; they are negative single-strand RNA viruses that can cause significant diseases in both humans and animals.

Newcastle Disease Virus (Paramyxoviridae)
Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most important infectious diseases of poultry. It is caused by virulent Avian avulavirus 1 (AAvV-1), also known as Newcastle disease virus (NDV) or Avian paramyxovirus 1 (APMV-1). Since the mid-1920s, ND has spread throughout the world.
