Abstract
Etiological relationship between a bovine strain of parainfluenza virus type 3 and pneumonia in a child is suggested.

The significance of this finding in relation to human infection is discussed.

Parainfluenza virus type 3 (para 3) was adapted to replicate at 20 degrees C, a nonpermissive temperature for wild-type (wt) para 3. Serial passage at 20 degrees C resulted in the generation of cold-adapted (ca) and temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants. These mutant viruses have been characterized bot
