Paramyxoviruses of Animals 2008-07-30 .txt text/plain 4948 251 41 The members of this virus family are enveloped and have genomes consisting of a single segment of negative-sense RNA that contains 6–10 genes encoding up to 12 proteins. The family Paramyxoviridae contains a large number of viruses of animals (Table 1) , including a number of major animal pathogens (such as Newcastle disease virus (NDV), canine distemper virus, and rinderpest virus), zoonotic pathogens (such as Hendra and Nipah viruses), and a number of somewhat obscure viruses whose natural histories are poorly understood. A number of animal paramyxoviruses have been recovered from cDNAs using reverse genetics, including simian virus 5, NDV, bovine parainfluenza virus 3, Sendai virus, canine distemper virus, rinderpest virus, bovine respiratory syncytial virus, and avian metapneumovirus. Infection occurs by several different routes, including aerosols (NDV, bovine respiratory syncytial virus, avian metapneumovirus) and contaminated feed and water (Newcastle disease, canine distemper, and rinderpest viruses). ./cache/cord-284941-wfn0pnev.txt ./txt/cord-284941-wfn0pnev.txt
