AB The  paramyxoviruses  include  the  most  important  agents  of  respiratory  infections  of  infants  and  young  children  ­(respiratory  syncytial  virus  [RSV]  and  the  parainfluenza  viruses)  as  well  as  the  causative  agents  of  two  of  the  most  ­common  contagious  diseases  of  childhood  (mumps  and  ­measles).  The  World  Health  Organization  estimates  that  acute  respiratory  infections  and  pneumonia  are  responsible  every  year  worldwide  for  the  deaths  of  4  million  children  younger  than  5  years.  Paramyxoviruses  are  the  major  ­respiratory  pathogens  in  this  age  group.
