PY - 2022 T2 - Maxcy-Rosenau-Last Public Health & Preventive Medicine, 16e AB - Mumps disease was described in the literature as early as fifth century BC by Hippocrates. The etiologic agent was identified as a virus in 1934 by Johnson and Goodpasture who demonstrated transmission to rhesus monkeys1; propagation of the virus ultimately led to the development of vaccines by the late 1960s.2 Mumps vaccine has resulted in dramatic decreases in the incidence and associated morbidity in the United States and in other countries that have introduced the vaccine in their routine childhood immunization programs. However, starting in the mid-2000s, mumps epidemics have occurred in countries with high mumps vaccination coverage, with the majority of cases occurring among persons who previously received two doses of mumps vaccine.3-7 Still, incidence remains much higher in countries where there is no routine vaccination for mumps.8 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1182675608 ER -
