The extent of genetic and antigenic variation found in a population of human parainfluenza virus type 1 (HPIV-1) during a single local epidemic was investigated. Fifteen HPIV-1 strains isolated from children in 1991 were analyzed. Nucleotide sequence variation in the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein (HN) gene demonstrated two distinct genotypes (genotypes C and D). Unique patterns were identified involving 62...
