Paramyxovirus

Paramyxoviruses are a family of polymorphic viruses with an irregular spherical or filamentous shape that contain single-stranded ribonucleic acid. They have a relatively high pathogenicity for humans and can cause various diseases, such as mumps, parainfluenza and other diseases.

Paramyxoviruses belong to the Paramyxoviridae family, which includes more than 30 types of viruses. The best known member of this family is the Newcastle disease virus, which causes severe disease in birds and mammals, including humans.

Paramyxovirus viruses have a lipoprotein-coated envelope that protects them from the body's immune system. In addition, they can multiply in cells of various tissues, including the lungs, brain and liver.

Treatment of paramyxovirus infections usually involves the use of antiviral drugs such as interferon and protease inhibitors. However, in cases of severe forms of the disease, hospitalization and intensive care may be required.

In general, paramyxoviruses are an important group of viruses that cause a variety of diseases in humans, animals and birds. Their study may help develop new methods of treating and preventing these infections, as well as improve our understanding of the mechanisms of interaction between viruses and the host.

Paramyxiviruses

Paramyxiviruses are viruses of the Paramyxoviride family, covered with a lipoprotein envelope and representing rotavirus-like forms. Paramyxovirus is believed to consist of a small, single-stranded protein genome that ends in a non-structural gene. This protein is believed to be an immature form of the ectodomain, or surface glycoprotein, one of the structural proteins that contains all the information for gene translation. Genomics show that the Paramyxovis genome is softly segmented, shared with a single cytomegaly virus, SV5, which was found in rhesus monkeys, and a simian paramyxovirus similar to simian virus ChHV 7.
