Overview
Microbiological Characteristics
- Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) are a group of four serotypes of enveloped, single stranded negative sense RNA viruses.[1]
- The human parainfluenza virus genome consists of approximately 15,000 nucleotides used to encode the following six structural proteins:.[2]
| Protein | Location | Function |
|---|---|---|
| hemagglutinin | Envelope | Attachment and cell entry |
| fusion protein | Envelope | Fusion and cell entry |
| matrix protein | Within the envelope | Assembly |
| nucleoprotein | Nucleocapsid | Forms a complex with the RNA genome |
| phosphoprotein | Nucleocapsid | Forms as a part of the RNA polymerase complex |
| large protein | Nucleocapsid | Forms as a part of the RNA polymerase complex |
