Similarity with Other Taxa

The member viruses of the family Paramyxoviridae have a similar strategy of gene expression and replication and gene order to those of other families in the order Mononegavirales, that is the families Rhabdoviridae and Filoviridae.

Derivation of Name

Meta: from Greek meta for “after”
Morbilli: from Latin morbillus, diminutive of morbus, “disease”.
