Mumps is caused by a virus in the paramyxovirus family. It causes a disease which results in fevers, headache, swelling of the parotid glands, orchitis, and may result in infertility.
It can be prevented by the mumps vaccine.
Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, which belongs to a family of viruses that are known as paramyxoviruses. Paramyxoviruses are a common source of infection, particularly in children.
When you get mumps, the virus moves from your respiratory tract (your nose, mouth, and throat) into your parotid glands, where it begins to reproduce. This causes inflammation and swelling of the glands.
Viral cells can also enter into your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which is the fluid that surrounds and protects your brain and spine. Once the virus has entered the CSF, it can spread to other parts of your body, such as your brain, pancreas, testicles (in boys and men), and ovaries (in girls and women).
