Diseases associated with this genus include mumps. [2] Members of the subfamily are collectively called rubulaviruses. The subfamily was previously a genus named Rubulavirus but was elevated to subfamily in 2018. [1] Viruses of this subfamily appear to be most closely related to members of Avulavirinae. [3]
