| pneumovirinae | A subfamily of paramyxoviridae containing one genus: pneumovirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pneumovirus | A genus of the family paramyxoviridae (subfamily pneumovirinae) where the human and bovine virions have neither haemagglutinin nor neuraminidase activity. Pneumonia virus of mice has haemagglutinin activity. Respiratory syncytial virus, human is the type species. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pneumovirus infections | Infections with viruses of the genus pneumovirus, family paramyxoviridae. This includes respiratory syncytial virus infections, an important cause of respiratory disease in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
