A new virus that belonged to a member of paramyxovirus was isolated from cynomolgus monkeys showing respiratory disorders about 20 years ago and was named Murayama virus (MrV). Interestingly, it showed no serological relationship with the mammalian paramyxoviruses tested. On the other hand, it was related to Yucaipa (YuV) and Bangor virus (BaV) belonging to avian paramyxovirus type 2 (PMV2). In analysis using anti-MrV monoclonal antibodies, MrV showed the closest relationship with YuV, and furthermore some conserved epitopes were found among avian paramyxovirus, MrV, YuV, BaV, and Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Subsequently, the nucleotide sequences of the F and HN genes of MrV were determined. In comparison with the deduced amino acid sequence of MrV and other paramyxoviruses, MrV showed the highest homology with NDV and higher similarity to HPIV2 group rather than to HPIV1 group. The present study clearly indicates that MrV belongs to PMV2 adapting to monkeys.
