Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis (genotyping) of mumps viruses has been applied to the molecular epidemiology of mumps for over 10 years in the UK. To explore further the variation of mumps strains over time, in total, 965 sequences of the entire SH gene were analysed and compared, including 954 mumps virus strains collected in the UK between 1996 and 2005 were characterised as genotypes G2 (426), G5 (369), J (157) and F (2),...
