    Journal: Acta Virol; 1990 Apr; 34(2):184-7. PubMed ID: 1975980.
    Abstract:
    In 1986 five avian paramyxovirus (PMV) strains were isolated in embryonated chicken eggs from sick children with influenza. The strains were identified as PMV-2 serotype due to the close antigenic relationships between their HN-proteins and of the reference PMV-2 strains isolated from different birds all over the world. No seroconversion to the isolates was found in the sick children, however, HI-antibodies were detected in hen's sera, eggs of which were used for the new strains isolation. The possible origin of isolated PMV-2 viruses is discussed.
