Easy and Rapid Detection of Mumps Virus by Live Fluorescent Visualization of Virus-Infected Cells. [PDF]
Mumps viruses show diverse cytopathic effects (CPEs) of infected cells and viral plaque formation (no CPE or no plaque formation in some cases) depending on the viral strain, highlighting the difficulty in mumps laboratory studies. In our previous study,

A new method for the detection of neutralizing antibodies against mumps virus. [PDF]
Neutralization test is the most reliable method of evaluating immunity against viral diseases but there is no standard procedure for mumps virus, with tests differing in the infectivity of the challenge virus, 50% plaque reduction or complete inhibition ...

Molecular epidemiology of mumps viruses in the Netherlands, 2017-2019.
Mumps cases continue to occur, also in countries with a relatively high vaccination rate. The last major outbreaks of mumps in the Netherlands were in 2009-2012 and thereafter, only small clusters and single cases were reported.
