Human Parainfluenza Virus (HPIV) Type-1, which is an anti-sense ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus belonging to the paramyxoviridae family, induces upper and lower respiratory tract infections. The infections caused by HPIV Type-1 are usually confined northwestern regions of America. HPIV-1 causes through virulence hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, plays a key role in attachment viral particle with host's receptor cells. To best our knowledge, there no effective antiviral drugs or vaccines...
