Paramyxovirus: One of a group of RNA viruses that are responsible predominantly for acute respiratory diseases and are usually transmitted in an airborne manner. The paramyxoviruses include the agents of mumps , measles ( rubeola ), RSV (respiratory syncytial virus, which mainly afflicts children), Newcastle disease, parainfluenza , Sendai virus and Hendra virus . Many of the paramyxoviruses cause disease in animals such as canine distemper and turkey rhinotracheitis.

The genome of paramyxoviruses consists of single-stranded RNA that encodes 6 genes separated from each another by repeated sequences of RNA. The paramyxoviruses replicate, unlike the influenza virus, in the cytoplasm (not in the nucleus ) of the host cell. The paramyxoviruses belong to the family Paramyxoviridae.

The word "paramyxovirus" is a compound of " para- " + "-myxo-" + "virus. The "-myxo-" is derived from the Greek "myxa" meaning mucus , slime.
