Viruses of this genus appear to be most closely related to avulaviruses.[4]

Structure

Rubulavirions are enveloped, with spherical geometries. The diameter is around 150 nm. Rubulavirus genomes are linear, around 15kb in length. The genome codes for 8 proteins.[1]

The Disease

Rubulavirus causes a disease called mumps. Swollen and painful salivary glands are often a symptom of mumps, but swollen ovaries, testis, or pancreas can also be symptoms. An infected person, can even sometimes show no symptoms which is the case for 20% of individuals who catch the disease. Other symptoms may include muscle aches, fatigue, headache, joint pain, loss of appetite, with infertility and hearing loss, being the most serious complications.[5]

If not vaccinated against mumps, you can catch the disease by breathing around an infected person who has coughed or sneezed, releasing their contaminated saliva. Fortunately, if you get mumps, you're usually immune to future infections of the disease. Children have the highest risk of catching mumps, in fact it is rare for an adult to contract mumps. The incubation period for mumps can range from a couple weeks to a month, while the illness period is a few weeks. The swelling of the salivary glands is caused when the virus travels from the respiratory tract to the salivary glands and multiplies within the glands, causing the glands to swell.[6]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by virus attaches to host cell. Replication follows the negative stranded RNA virus replication model. Negative stranded RNA virus transcription, using polymerase stuttering, through co-transcriptional RNA editing is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by budding. Humans, apes, pigs, and dogs serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are respiratory and saliva.[1]
