【 摘 要 】

The number of cases of mumps in the UK has increased during 2004–2005. Understanding why some people are more susceptible to mumps infection will help target vaccination and other control measures in the future. This paper describes a mumps outbreak in a boarding school in Scotland (October to November 2004).
