Abstract
A paramyxovirus has been isolated, identified and characterized. The virus causes a disease characterized clinically by severe diarrhea, dehydration and death. Microscopically the disease is characterized as a proliferative gastroenterocolitis with focal necrosis of the mucosa, by giant syncytial cells and eosinophilic intranuclear and intracytoplasmic inclusions. The virus is closely related to measles virus antigenically.
