mumps virus

But some people who are infected with the mumps virus do not have any symptoms.

What had to be accomplished was analogous to, oh, the mumps virus.

The mumps virus lives in the upper respiratory tract and spreads through direct contact with saliva.

The mumps virus causes fever, headache, and swollen glands.

Mumps is an illness caused by the mumps virus.

The genus includes the mumps virus and parainfluenza type 2, 4a and 4b viruses.

He cultured the mumps virus from her throat, and in 1967 a vaccine was produced from this which is now widely used.

Mumpsvax is a mumps vaccine made of mumps virus.

The mumps virus strains were developed in embryonic hens' eggs and chick embryo cell cultures.

'Mumps' or 'epidemic parotitis' is a viral disease of the human species, caused by the mumps virus.

Coxsackieviruses are among the leading causes of aseptic meningitis (the other usual suspects being echovirus and mumps virus).

Mumps virus causes fever, headache and vomiting, followed by the notorious symptoms of swollen glands in the face and neck.

This brought on a large ongoing controversy and finally prompted a virologist colleague of theirs to inject embryonated eggs with mumps virus.

Transmission of mumps virus occurs by direct contact with respiratory droplets, saliva or contact with contaminated fomites.

Mumps virus has been isolated from saliva from between two and seven days before symptom onset until nine days after onset of symptoms (4, 6).

The mumps virus itself can be identified with a viral culture of samples of urine, saliva, or cerebrospinal fluid obtained by a lumbar puncture.

Mumps virus causes fever, headache, and swollen glands, but more serious symptoms include hearing loss, and painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries.

Before the introduction of the mumps vaccine, the mumps virus was the leading cause of viral meningoencephalitis in the United States.

Mumpsvax is produced from the Jeryl Lynn strain of mumps virus developed by Maurice Hilleman.

A single hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein can combine neuraminidase and hemagglutinin functions, such as in mumps virus and human parainfluenza virus.

Jeryl Lynn are strains of mumps virus used in the Mumpsvax mumps vaccine made by Merck.

The Mumps virus is a roughly spherical particle made up of concentric layers of fatty lipids, large protein molecules, and nucleic acid.

Building on their success, the chick was used to isolate the mumps virus for vaccine development and it is still used to culture some viruses and parasites today.

Some forms of meningitis (such as those associated with meningococci, Haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococci or mumps virus infections) may be prevented by immunization.

Mumps is a contagious disease caused by the mumps virus, which can lead to deafness, infection of the brain and spinal cord covering, and other serious problems.
