''Dalhousie University'' was struck with an outbreak of the mumps confirmed in many students and suspected cases in dozens of others. The main causes of the large outbreak include students being unaware of being infected, and other students who knowingly ignored quarantine restrictions. The outbreak began after St. Patrick's Day, and has spread beyond the university community, with confirmed cases reaching 350 cases of mumps since February, including about 24 new cases that have surfaced during the week ending June 9, 2007. The end of the university year in May meant that many students travelled to their homes across the country carrying the infection, leading to a large scale spread, the extent of which is still not clear, although the prevalence of the disease lay in people aged 17 to 24.

Overview

In 2006, the United States experienced a multi-state outbreak involving 6584 reported cases of mumps. This resurgence predominantly affected midwestern college students with the highest attack rates occurring among those living in dormitories. In the following two years, the number of reported cases returned to usual levels, and outbreaks involved fewer than 20 cases.

However, beginning in July 2009, the largest U.S. mumps outbreak since 2006 has occurred. The index case was an 11-year-old boy who had returned on June 17 from the United Kingdom where an ongoing mumps outbreak involves more than 4000 cases. Because of the potential for more extensive disease transmission, efforts should be made to heighten surveillance for mumps and assure that children and adults are appropriately vaccinated against this disease.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 212,000 mumps case occurred in 1964, in contrast to 229 in 2012 in the United States.
  • Since the initiation of the MMR vaccination program in the United States, the incidence of mumps has declined by 99%.
  • Currently, the number of cases per year ranges from a couple hundred to a couple thousand.

Age

  • Mumps predominantly occurs in school-age children (5-14 years).
  • Sporadic outbreaks have occurred in adolescents.

Gender

  • Males and females are equally affected by mumps.

Race

  • Between 1988 ad 1993, there was a higher incidence of mumps in African Americans and Hispanics.
  • Currently there is no significant difference in mumps rates between races.

Developed Countries

  • Mumps is uncommon in the United States and other developed countries. However sporadic outbreaks have occurred, predominantly in environments that involve close contact or high level of social interaction.

Developing Countries

  • According to the World Health Organization (WHO) reports, only 57% of countries belonging to the organization use mumps vaccine. Therefore mumps still remains endemic in many developing (and developed) countries.[1]

Recent Mumps Outbreaks

I. United Kingdom: 2004 - 2005

  • Between 2004 to 2005, the United Kingdom experienced an epidemic when 56,390 cases of mumps were reported.
  • Majority of cases occurred in individuals between ages 15-24 years.
  • Majority of patients did not have 2 doses of the MMR vaccine and only 30.1% of patients in 2004 had received 1 dose.[2]

II. United States: 2005 - 2006

Although there may not be a direct link with the mumps outbreak in Ireland, United States CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding has been quoted stating that the genotype from the U.S. outbreak, in the early cases of this outbreak, was the same genotype of virus that was associated with the United Kingdom outbreak. [4]

Entrez Gene contains a placeholder database record for a new Mumps gene; the record is dated 23 Feb 2006.[5]

On 31 January 2007, 6404 cases of mumps in 2006 compared to 314 in 2005. As of today, YTD 15 deaths in the United States were reported.[6]

1. Iowa (2005-2006)

In early 2006, for reasons still not fully understood, the state of Iowa experienced a large surge in the number of reported mumps infections.[3] [7]According to the New York Times, college students accounted for about a quarter of the 245 cases [8], while about half of the cases are people aged seventeen to twenty five. Doctors are attributing the rise in mumps case frequency to low vaccination rates in Iowa's youth, coupled with the close quarters in dormitories, classrooms and cafeterias.

According to Canadian media reports,[9] there may be something novel about this mumps strain which indicates a standard MMR-series vaccination is not 95% effective, as was thought.

On 14 April 2006, Iowa has experienced more than 600 suspected cases since December. The mumps outbreak is the nation's largest in twenty years. On 18 April 2006, 815 cases have been reported [10] in Iowa alone, representing a caseload reporting increase of 200 in the last week. On 25 April 2006, there are over 1,120 confirmed[11], probable and suspected cases of mumps. Over 1000 of the cases are confirmed. By 2 May 2006, Iowa reported 1,487 cases.[12] and confirmed 1,184, 253 probable, and 237 suspect cases, or 1674 total by 11 May 2006. Template:PDFlink
