Parainfluenza viruses are 15-250 nm in size, negative sense, single stranded RNA that are made up of approx. 15, 000 nucleotides. There are essentially four distinct types which are known as type 1, 2, 3 and 4. All of these have a difference in the severity of the disease but all share antigenic cross-reactivity.
