Differences in antigenic sites and other functional regions between genotype A and G mumps virus surface proteins.
Dutch mumps virus samples from the pre-vaccine era (1957-1982) with mumps virus genotype G strains (from 2004 onwards). Genotype G is the most frequently detected mumps genotype in recent outbreaks in ...
