Mumps is an illness that causes severe swelling of the salivary glands, and in some cases the testicles.
Humans are the only animals to get mumps.
The outbreaks occurred worldwide, often in close quarters, such as military barracks,
boarding schools, ships at sea and prisons.
In World War I, mumps was the leading cause of French troops missing active duty.
Mumps can be prevented by using a vaccine.
