Yes, it is. It is a viral infection spread by droplets. It shows as a classic gopher-like swelling of the cheeks (Parotitis). Humans are the exclusive natural host. Fever, discomfort, malaise are signs and symptoms. 40% are subclinical with no swelling of the glands. Swelling of other organs can occur. 20-30% of young adult males show swelling of the testis on one side. Permanent sterility in males does not occur as once thought.
