Mumps

If you have had mumps, you typically develop immunity to the virus, which means you are unlikely to contract it again or pass it on to others. However, in very rare cases, individuals can still carry the virus and be contagious, particularly if they have a weakened immune system. It's important to maintain good hygiene practices to prevent any potential spread, even if you believe you are immune. Vaccination with the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is the best way to prevent the disease and its transmission.

Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. It was first identified in the 1930s, but the virus is believed to have existed for centuries prior, with historical references suggesting it may have been recognized in ancient times. The disease primarily spreads through respiratory droplets and can lead to swelling of the salivary glands. Vaccination efforts, especially with the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine, have significantly reduced its incidence in many parts of the world.

It can cause inflammation of pancreas- pancreatitis, and orchitis leading to sterlity

mumps when contracted in childhood is less serious compared to when you contract it in adulthood. mumps in adulthood particularly among males can also cause swelling of the testicles or ORCHITIS. orchitis has the potential of making one sterile.

Mumps is plural. But it is both singular and plural is construction.

Double Mumps is the name given when the viral infection causes swelling on both sides of the throat.

yes

Well it is an area not much researched, which in turn tells us, its not much of an issue. Right? As far as we know, some dogs have been reported to show similar symptoms when in a house hold of a child who has the mumps. No other types of pets have ever shown problems that anyone has seen sever enough to mention. However these pooches that did show symptoms healed on their own without any medication within five to ten days, so you should not have anything to worry about. =D

The mumps virus is an enveloped single-stranded, linear negative-sense RNA virus of the Rubulavirus genus and Paramyxovirus family. Humans are the only natural host for the virus. Mumps 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.

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.

People would wear a cloth around their head when they had the mumps because it was used to hold a ginger root salve on the swollen areas. Ginger is a well-known herbal remedy for mumps. To apply the ginger, a whole peeled root of fresh ginger would be ground into a fine pulp and the pulp would be used as a salve over the swollen areas. The salve tends to be very watery, so it would be spread on a clean bandage or clean piece of cloth and held in place by tying a bandana or a longer piece of cloth around the head.

Yes, epidemic parotitis.

Mumps is, among other symptoms, inflammation of the parotid glands. These salivary glands are found on either cheek.

Based on historical accounts, an American pathologist by the name of Ernest William Goodpasture was the one who discovered mumps virus in 1934.
Claude D. Johnson and Ernest W. Goodpasture conducted an investigation into the etiology of Mumps and concluded that a virus in saliva caused mumps.

Hippocrates an ancient Greek physician described an outbreak of mumps in the 5th century B.C..

I have not eaten anything properly yet, I have tried but everything hurts to eat the only thing u got along with was yogurt.

So it can be easily spread by direct contact with saliva, like kissing of an infected person and a healthy person, or can also be spread through sharing objects contaminated with infected saliva (e.g. cups, utensils). This virus can also be spread when by breathing in droplets coming from infected persons cough or sneeze fall on a healthy person.

Epidemic parotitis because it affects the parotid glands and is contagious and caused epidemics in history.
The scientific name for mumps is Epidemic parotitis. The virus can cause pain, fever and swelling in the salivary glands.
