Sunshine virus is a novel paramyxovirus (PMV), which was first demonstrated in pythons in 2012 in Australia. Sunshine virus is only distantly related to Ferlavirus (formerly known as reptile PMV or snake PMV). It has been demonstrated in animals with respiratory and/or neurological symptoms, but can occasionally be detected even
in clinically healthy animals. Initial studies show that this virus may also be present in European pythons.
