type species

1

includes Newcastle disease virus (NDV).

2

Due to a formal classification mistake, this species was incorrectly named Synodus paramyxovirus in 2019. A proposal to change the species name to the correct “Synodus synodonvirus“ will be submitted prior to the next taxonomic proposal submission deadline.

3

Due to a formal classification mistake, the species Bat mumps orthorubulavirus was not abolished as outlined in the original proposal to reorganize the family Paramyxoviridae. A proposal to abolish this species will be submitted prior to the next taxonomic proposal submission deadline.

Please note that viruses are real objects that are assigned to concepts that are called taxa. Species, genera, families, and orders are taxa. Taxon names are always italicized and always begin with a capital letter. Virus names, on the other hand, are not italicized and are not capitalized, except if the name or a name component is a proper noun. This column lists the virus names with their correct (lack of) capitalization. Lists of viruses within a given species are provisional at this point and will likely be amended in the near future.
