Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) is a negative‐sense, single‐stranded RNA virus that can infect humans and many species of animals. Infection in these reservoir hosts is generally asymptomatic and has few safety concerns. Emerging evidence has shown that PIV5 is a promising vector for developing vaccines against human infectious diseases caused by coronaviruses, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, rabies, HIV, or bacteria. In this review, we summarize recent progress and highlight the advantages and strategies of PIV5 as a vaccine vector to improve future vaccine design and application for clinical trials.
