Rubulavirinae
Rubulavirinae
Subfamily of viruses
Rubulavirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the family Paramyxoviridae.[1] Humans, apes, pigs, and dogs serve as natural hosts. There are currently 18 species in the two genera Orthorubulavirus and Pararubulavirus.[1] Diseases associated with this genus include mumps.[2] Members of the subfamily are collectively called rubulaviruses. The subfamily was previously a genus named Rubulavirus but was elevated to subfamily in 2018.[1] Viruses of this subfamily appear to be most closely related to members of Avulavirinae.[3]
