The target cells for the mumps virus primarily include epithelial cells of the respiratory tract, as well as glandular cells, particularly in the parotid glands, which are responsible for saliva production. The virus can also affect other tissues, such as the central nervous system, testes, and pancreas. Mumps virus attaches to the host cells via the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein, facilitating its entry and subsequent replication.
