Assessment of new in vitro and in vivo models for mumps virus replication
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Mumps virus (MuV) is a paramyxovirus which causes mumps, a communicable disease in humans characterised by pain and swelling of the parotid gland(s). Suspected mumps cases are confirmed by PCR detection of MuV nucleotide sequences followed by virus isolation using Vero cells. Veros are the “gold-standard” for MuV isolation however they may select for attenuated or adapted virus variants and produce genetically alt...
