Paramyxoviridae - Wikipedia
Paramyxoviridae (from Greek para-“by the side of” and myxa “mucus”) is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Mononegavirales. [1] [2] Vertebrates serve as natural hosts. [3] Diseases associated with this family include measles, mumps, and respiratory tract infections. [4]
