Any of a group of viruses that are agents of influenza and can cause the common cold, mumps, and measles in humans, canine distemper, rinderpest in cattle, and Newcastle disease in fowl.

These viruses react with a protein on the surface of red blood cells; many of them cause red blood cells to clump together.
