Abstract excerpt
Mumps virus (MuV) is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae. MuV causes acute infection of the parotid glands, and the infection can result in severe cases of encephalitis, meningitis and deafness in humans. The non-segmented RNA genome of MuV is encapsidated by the nucleocapsid protein (NP), which forms the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that serves as a template for...
