Biological Significance
Mumps virus is the causative agent of mumps, a well known common childhood disease characterised by swelling of the parotid glands and other epithelial tissues causing high morbidity and in some cases more serious complications such as deafness. Natural infection is currently restricted to humans and the virus is transmitted by direct contact, droplet spread or via contaminated objects.
