Shape of the capsid
Does anyone know the shape of the shape of the HPIV capsid? From the picture it seems to not be icosahedral or helical. Thanks, (D.c.camero (talk) 16:18, 16 September 2008 (UTC))
 * From my knowledge it should be helical, here is a source from PNAS. Can someone add that in? Thanks Usucrose (talk) 15:28, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Educational assignment
Hi.

P/V/C overlapping open reading frame
Similar to other paramyxovirus, is it good to also mention about the transcription of PVC gene involves RNA editing to transcribe 3 proteins with overlapping open reading frame with same genomic sequence? Usucrose (talk) 15:18, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

PIV5
(H)PIV5 is mentioned in Successful MERS vaccine in mice may hold promise for COVID-19 vaccine (2020-04-07). It is missing in the article. Neither can be found in current ICTV MSL. Does anyone know more about this? Which genus? Thanks in advance. --Ernsts (talk) 21:06, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * This is Mammalian rubulavirus 5 as mentioned. ICTV Taxonomy history: Mammalian orthorubulavirus 5 --Ernsts (talk) 16:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
