First Serological Evidence of Avian Metapneumovirus and Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus in Commercial Poultry in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. [PDF]
This study reports the first serological evidence of avian metapneumovirus and infectious laryngotracheitis virus in commercial poultry in Ghana. High aMPV seroprevalence (49%) and lower ILTV prevalence (7%) were detected, with some coinfection.

A Novel P/V/C Gene in a New Member of the Paramyxoviridae Family, Which Causes Lethal Infection in Humans, Horses, and Other Animals [PDF]
ABSTRACT In 1994, a new member of the family Paramyxoviridae isolated from fatal cases of respiratory disease in horses and humans was shown to be distantly related to morbilliviruses and provisionally called equine morbillivirus (K. Murray et al., Science 268:94–97, 1995).
