    Mumps is a contagious viral disease that is transmitted through saliva or respiratory droplets from infected individuals. It is caused by the mumps virus and results in swollen salivary glands. Common symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches and swollen salivary glands. There is an incubation period of 12-25 days from exposure before symptoms appear. The mumps virus is prevented through the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, though some outbreaks still occur. Complications can include inflammation of the testicles, ovaries or pancreas in rare cases.

    Mumps

    What are “Mumps”? And what is the
    type of pathogen?
    Mumps is a contagious disease that is caused by a virus. It typically
    starts with a few days of fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, and
    loss of appetite. Then most people will have swelling of their salivary
    glands (often referred to as parotitis when the parotid gland, located in
    front and below the ear, swells). Other names for this virus are
    Epidemic Parotitis.

    Mumps is caused by a paramyxovirus, a member of the


    Rubulavirus family. The average incubation period for
    mumps is 16 to 18 days, with a range of 12 to 25 days. 
    How is transmitted the Mumps?
    This disease is spread through direct contact with saliva or
    respiratory droplets from the mouth, nose or throat. An infected
    person can spread the virus to the:
    • cough, sneeze or talk.
    • share objects that may contain saliva, such as bottles of water or
    cups.
    • participate in activities where there is close contact with other
    people, such as playing sports, dancing or kissing.
    Symptoms And Signs:
    Symptoms of mumps include: fever, swelling, and pain in one
    or more salivary glands, usually the parodit gland (located
    just below the front of the ear). About of a third of infected
    people have no symptoms.

    The main sign of mumps is inflammation of the salivary


    glands.
    Other of the most common signs are: pain when chewing, loss
    of appetite, fatigue and weakness, headache, etc.
    Main cause of Mumps, Incubation and
    sickness time frame
    Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, which belongs
    to a family of viruses known as paramyxoviruses.
    These viruses are a common source of infection,
    particularly in children.
    Mumps has an incubation period of 16-18 days;
    however, cases can arise 12-25 days after exposure.
    After this period, prodromal symptoms (such as low-
    grade fever, malaise, myalgias, headache, and anorexia)
    occur; these symptoms can last 3-5 days.
    Is there a vaccine against mumps?
    The vaccine is the best way to reduce the risk of your
    children getting mumps. It is usually part of a combined
    vaccine (MMR) that protects against three diseases:
    measles, mumps and rubella.

    The MMR vaccine is safe and effective. In most children it does


    not produce any side effects, and those it produces are usually
    very mild, such as fever or rash.
    Interesting information of Mumps.
    • Parotitis and orchitis described by Hippocrates in 5th
    century BCE
    • Mumps is an acute viral illness. In 1934, Claud Johnson
    and Ernest Goodpasture showed that mumps could be
    transmitted from infected patients to rhesus monkeys and
    demonstrated that mumps was caused by a filterable
    agent present in saliva. 
    • Before vaccine, one of the most common causes of aseptic
    meningitis and hearing loss among children and
    hospitalization among military
    • Vaccination led to over 99% reduction in mumps cases
    Long term effects
    Sometimes, mumps can cause complications, especially in adults.
    Complications may include:
    • Inflammation of the testicles (orchitis); this can cause a reduction in the size of the
    testicles (testicular atrophy).
    • Inflammation of the ovaries (ovaritis) or breast tissue (mastitis).
    • Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
    • Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis).
    • Inflammation of the tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord (meningitis).
    • Deafness.

    Outlook on future or disease.


    Although global mumps infections have been controlled through vaccination, outbreaks are still on
    the rise, including in populations with high vaccination coverage. Several epidemiological studies
    suggest that this infectious virus continues to be a worldwide public health threat.
    The development and deployment of an improved, prophylactic mumps
    vaccine that provides long-lasting protection is indeed a priority.
