Cooperative Neuraminidase Activity in a Paramyxovirus

Virology, 1995
Paramyxoviruses possess neuraminidase (NA) activity, i.e., the ability to cleave sialic acid from membrane-bound and soluble glycoconjugates. The activity is associated with a homotetrameric, surface glycoprotein spike, called the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase.

Genotype I Newcastle Disease Virus, Isolated from Wild Duck, Can Protect Chickens Against Newcastle Disease Caused by Genotype VII

Pathogens
Newcastle disease viruses (NDVs) circulating among wild birds and poultry may differ in virulence. Some NDVs cause devastating outbreaks in chickens. The NDV/duck/Moscow/3639/2008 (d3639) strain was isolated from a wild duck.

A New Genotype of Feline Morbillivirus Infects Primary Cells of the Lung, Kidney, Brain and Peripheral Blood

Viruses, 2019
Paramyxoviruses comprise a large number of diverse viruses which in part give rise to severe diseases in affected hosts. A new genotype of feline morbillivirus, tentatively named feline morbillivirus genotype 2 (FeMV-GT2), was isolated from urine of cats

Amino acid changes accumulated in the fusion protein allow neuropathogenic measles viruses to use a broad repertoire of host factors for cell fusion triggering

Journal of Virology
Measles virus (MeV), an enveloped RNA virus belonging to the genus Morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae, is the causative agent of measles, an acute febrile illness with skin rash. MeV has two types of envelope glycoproteins: the hemagglutinin (H)

Human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2) induced host ADAM8 expression in human salivary adenocarcinoma cell line (HSY) during cell fusion [PDF]

, 2009
Background The aim of the study was to investigate expression of ADAMs (A Disintegrin and A Metalloproteinase) of host cell origin during cell-cell fusion induced by human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2).

Glycosylation as a strategic mechanism for measles virus and mumps virus immune evasion

Frontiers in Immunology
Glycosylation of viral surface proteins by host cell factors is one strategy paramyxoviruses employ to evade the host’s immune system during infection. Viral glycosylation thus has the potential for innate and adaptive immune modulation.

Development Of An Indirect Elisa Using The Recombinant Nucleocapsid Protein As Antigen For Detection Of Antibodies To Newcastle Disease Virus [PDF]

, 2007
Newcastle disease (ND) is a virulent form of poultry disease that has the potential to cause 100% mobidity and mortality. The continuing threat of ND to the poultry industry requires routine testing of vaccinated chickens to determine that they have been

PARAMYXOVIRUS INFECTION IN PIGEONS [PDF]

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2005
This study investigated 69 pigeon flocks for the role of Paramyxovirus (PMV) in serious problem of nervous signs facing both loft and individual raising pigeons in Upper Egypt resulting in severe economic losses. The morbidity and mortality rates in the infected pigeons were 20-94% and 10-90% respectively.
