“…However, the incidence of mumps has been on the rise in recent years, especially in school‐age children and scattered children, which seriously affects children's health and quality of life. Large mumps outbreaks have occurred in the United States and several European countries in recent years 3,7–10 . The number of mumps cases reported in the United States each year in 2016 and 2017 was nearly double the total number reported in the previous 5 years 11,12 .…”

Mumps is an acute infectious disease that spreads widely around the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological features and sociodemographic factors associated with mumps in mainland China from 2004 to 2018. Incidence data for mumps during the period 2004-2018 were collected from the Public Health Sciences Data Center of China. Joinpoint regression analysis was performed to explore the trends of mumps. Space-time clustering analysis was conducted to spatial and temporal aggregation areas of mumps. A generalized linear model was used to explore sociodemographic factors associated with the incidence of mumps. The average annual incidence of mumps was 21.44/100 000 in mainland China. It was increased dramatically during 2004-2012 (annual percentage change [APC] = 7.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.28-13.00). After 2012, it remained stable, however, significantly increased in intermediately developed regions from 2015 to 2018 (APC = 25.84, 95% CI: 3.59-52.86). The first-level spatial and temporal aggregation areas were distributed in Xinjiang,

“…Perhaps owing to this, mumps outbreaks have occurred worldwide over the past decades, mainly in vaccinated adolescents and young adults. These outbreaks often occurred in close contact settings (schools, households, parties), and were mostly caused by genotypes that are different from the vaccine genotype [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]. For instance, the current vaccine used in the Netherlands contains the Jeryl-Lynn strain (genotype A), and is genetically distant from the recent outbreak strains (genotypes D and G) [14, 15].…”

Mumps virus is a highly transmissible pathogen that is effectively controlled in countries with high vaccination coverage. Nevertheless, outbreaks have occurred worldwide over the past decades in vaccinated populations. Here we analyse serological data from outbreaks of mumps virus genotype G among college students in the Netherlands over the period 2009-2012. To identify infections in the presence of preexisting antibodies we compared mumps specific serum IgG concentrations in two consecutive samples (n= 746), whereby the first sample was taken when students started their study prior to the outbreaks, and the second sample was taken 2-5 years later. We fit a binary mixture model to the data. The two mixing distributions represent uninfected and infected classes. Throughout we assume that the infection probability increases with the ratio of antibody concentrations of the second to first sample. The estimated infection attack rate is higher than reported earlier (0.095 versus 0.042). The analyses yield probabilistic classifications of participants, which are mostly quite precise owing to the high intraclass correlation in uninfected participants (0.85, 95%CrI: 0.82 − 0.87). The estimated probability of infection increases with decreasing antibody concentration in the pre-outbreak sample, such that the probability of infection is 0.12 (95%CrI: 0.10 − 0.13) for the lowest quartile of the pre-outbreak samples and 0.056 (95%CrI: 0.044 − 0.068) for the highest quartile. We discuss the implications of these insights for the design of booster vaccination strategies.HighlightsWe use paired pre- and post-outbreak serological data to estimate mumps infection rates in college students.We use a two-component mixture model to provide individual estimates of infection for each participant.The estimated population infection attack rate is higher than reported earlier (9.5% vs 4.2%).The estimated individual probability of infection increases with decreasing pre-outbreak antibody concentrations, from 12% in the lowest to 5.6% in the highest quartile.

“…The epidemic situation of mumps in different countries and regions varies with diverse vaccination plans, including local vaccine coverage, age and times of vaccination [4][5][6]. In recent years, several mumps resurgences were reported in the United States [7], Australia [8], France [9], Britain [10] and other areas [11]. Most of the cases in these outbreaks were adolescents who had received two-dose MMR.…”

The mumps resurgence has frequently been reported around the world in recent years, especially in many counties mumps vaccines have been widely used. This study aimed to describe the spatial epidemiological characteristics of mumps in Jiangsu, and provide a scientific basis for the implementation and adjustment of strategies to prevent and control mumps. The epidemiological characteristics were described with ratio or proportion. Spatial autocorrelation, Tango's flexible spatial scan statistics, and Kulldorff's elliptic spatiotemporal scan statistics were applied to identify the spatial autocorrelation, detect hot and cold spots of mumps incidence, and aggregation areas. A total of 172 775 cases were reported from 2004 to 2020 in Jiangsu. The general trend of mumps incidence is declining with a bimodal seasonal distribution identified mainly in summer and winter, respectively. Children aged 5-10 years old are the main risk group. A migration trend of hot spots from southeast to northwest over time was found. Similar high-risk aggregations were detected in the northwestern parts through spatialtemporal analysis with the most likely cluster time frame around 2019. Local medical and health administrations should formulate and implement targeted health care policies and allocate health resources more appropriately corresponding to the epidemiological characteristics of mumps.
