Selection Of

The objective of our present studies has been to follow the course of mumps virus when injected intravenously into pregnant hamsters during early stages of gestation, in order to determine possible relations to fetal disease and/or malformations. Several considerations prompted the selection of mumps virus for these investigations. One was that, while rubella (Gregg, 1941) and cytomegalic inclusion body disease (Weller & Hanshaw, 1962) have been the only two viruses shown to have a definite cause-effect relation in the etiology of human congenital malformations, there has been a continuing suspicion that mumps virus may also act as a teratogenic agent in human pregnancy (Kaye & Reaney, 1962; Blattner & Heys, 1961; Hyatt, 1961). A second reason was that mumps virus has a natural pathogenicity for hamsters (Kilham & Overman, 1953). In addition, this agent is capable of infecting women at term, the strain used in present experiments having been obtained from human milk a few days post-partum (Kilham, 1951).

SUMMARYSerum samples from individuals of a wide age range, collected in northwest England in 1984 and 1986, provide the basis for an analysis of the epidemiology of mumps virus infection. A radial haemolysis test yielding quantitative antibody measurements was used to screen samples for mumps-specific IgG. Analyses of resultant age-seroprevalence profiles, using statistical models, revealed an age-related pattern in the rate of infection per susceptible similar to that observed for other childhood infections. This rate, or force of infection, was low in young children, high in older children, and low in adults. In addition, the serological surveys provide evidence for time-dependent changes (both epidemic and longer-term) in the rate of mumps virus transmission. The longer-term changes, reflected in the pattern of the age-acquisition of specific antibodies, are supported by evidence from case notification data. The implications of temporal changes in incidence to the interpretation and design of serological surveys are considered.
