Development and Use of an Endpoint Titration Assay To Characterize Mumps IgG Avidity following Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Wild-Type Mumps Infection

mSphere, 2018
Waning mumps IgG antibody and incomplete IgG avidity maturation may increase susceptibility to mumps virus infection in some vaccinees. To measure mumps IgG avidity, serum specimens serially diluted to the endpoint were incubated on a commercial mumps ...

Development and evaluation of a next-generation sequencing methodology for measles virus using Oxford Nanopore Technology

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
We report the development of a bench protocol and evaluation of bioinformatics pipelines for the whole genome sequence (WGS) of measles virus (MeV) genotype D8. We established a bench protocol using 1 kb amplicons tiling the MeV WGS.

Outbreaks of mumps genotype G viruses in the Netherlands between October 2019 and March 2020: clusters associated with multiple introductions

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background From October 2019–March 2020, several clusters of mumps cases were identified in the Netherlands. Our objective was to describe cluster-associated mumps virus transmission using epidemiological and molecular information in order to help future

Mumps vaccine effectiveness of a 3rd dose of measles, mumps, rubella vaccine in school settings during a mumps outbreak -- Arkansas, 2016-2017

Public Health in Practice, 2023
Objectives: The largest mumps outbreak in the United States since 2006 occurred in Arkansas during the 2016-17 school year. An additional dose (third dose) of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR3) was offered to school children.

Capillary Dynamics Analysis of Millimetric Tubes for Anti‐Slip Surfaces: A Phase‐Field Based Finite Element Approach and Experimental Validation

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Phase‐field method based numerical modelling of the capillary rise in millimeter‐sized tubes, aiming for anti‐slip applications. The experimental validation was performed through capillary assays in polyethylene oxide (PEO) bulk modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels.

Recombinant mumps virus as a cancer therapeutic agent

Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2016
Mumps virus belongs to the family of Paramyxoviridae and has the potential to be an oncolytic agent. Mumps virus Urabe strain had been tested in the clinical setting as a treatment for human cancer four decades ago in Japan.

Mumps Orchitis [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2006
Although the incidence of mumps orchitis has dramatically declined since the introduction of the childhood vaccination programme, a sharp increase in reported cases of both mumps and mumps orchitis has been seen recently in the UK. There are great concerns about mumps outbreaks and the associated risk of infertility; it remains an important clinical ...

Lewis Acid‐Activated Charge Trapping in Dielectric Polymers for Superior High‐Temperature Electrostatic Energy Storage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lewis acid–base molecular engineering tailors the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of polymers to form deep, homogeneous charge traps in commercial polyetherimide (PEI). These deep traps effectively inhibit the transport of injected charge carriers from electrodes, ultimately enabling ultrahigh energy density and thermal stability in dielectric ...
