Structure
Viruses in Rubulavirus are enveloped, with spherical geometries. The diameter is around 150 nm. Genomes are linear, around 15kb in length. The genome codes for 8 proteins.[1]

Life Cycle
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by virus attaches to host cell. Replication follows the negative stranded RNA virus replication model. Negative stranded RNA virus transcription, using polymerase stuttering, through co-transcriptional RNA editing is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by budding. Humans, apes, pigs, and dogs serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are respiratory and saliva.[1]
