Mumps (epidemic parotitis) is a viral disease caused by the mumps virus. It is a contagious disease that is spread from person to person through contact with respiratory secretions such as saliva from an infected person. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, the droplets aerosolize and can enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person. Mumps can also be spread by sharing food and drinks. The virus can also survive on surfaces and then be spread after contact in a similar manner.

These modified viruses can still stimulate an immune response, allowing the body to recognize and fight off the actual mumps virus if encountered in the future. The attenuation process ensures that while the immune system is trained to respond, the vaccine does not lead to the symptoms of mumps.
