Some mumps serologic positive individuals have low levels of neutralizing antibodies which explains recurrent outbreaks.
PMID: Clin Vaccine Immunol. 2014 Mar ;21(3):286-97. Epub 2013 Dec 26. PMID: 24371258 Abstract Title: Estimates of mumps seroprevalence may be influenced by antibody specificity and serologic method. Abstract: Neutralizing antibodies are assumed to be essential for protection against mumps virus infection, but their measurement is labor- and time-intensive. For this reason, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays …
Recent large outbreaks of mumps in highly vaccinated populations suggest waning of vaccine-induced immunity and primary vaccine failure.
PMID: Am J Epidemiol. 2014 Apr 15 ;179(8):1006-17. Epub 2014 Feb 25. PMID: 24573540 Abstract Title: Assessing mumps outbreak risk in highly vaccinated populations using spatial seroprevalence data. Abstract: Mumps is a potentially severe viral infection. The incidence of mumps has declined dramatically in high-income countries since the introduction of mumps antigen-containing vaccines. However, recent …
Mumps outbreak in a highly vaccinated population.
PMID: Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2014 Feb ;33(2):121-5. PMID: 23995590 Abstract Title: Risk factors for transmission of mumps in a highly vaccinated population in Orange County, NY, 2009-2010. Abstract: BACKGROUND: In 2009-2010, we investigated a mumps outbreak among a highly vaccinated Orthodox Jewish population in a village in Orange County, NY, to identify risk factors …

Cases of transmission of vaccine virus mumps.
PMID: Vopr Virusol. 2013 Nov-Dec;58(6):42-5. PMID: 24772647 Abstract Title: [Mumps vaccine virus transmission]. Abstract: In this work we report the mumps vaccine virus shedding based on the laboratory confirmed cases of the mumps virus (MuV) infection. The likely epidemiological sources of the transmitted mumps virus were children who were recently vaccinated with the mumps vaccine …

Polyphenolic antioxidant (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate from green tea as a candidate anti-HIV agent.
PMID: AIDS. 2002 Apr 12 ;16(6):939-41. PMID: 11919502 Abstract Title: Polyphenolic antioxidant (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate from green tea as a candidate anti-HIV agent. Abstract: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), one of the components of green tea, has been suggested to have antiviral activity. To determine the effects of EGCG on HIV infection, peripheral blood lymphocytes were incubated with either LAI/IIIB …

Naringenin may play a role in enhancing neuroprotective and cognition functions.
PMID: PLoS One. 2020 ;15(1):e0227631. Epub 2020 Jan 16. PMID: 31945778 Abstract Title: Naringenin protects AlCl3/D-galactose induced neurotoxicity in rat model of AD via attenuation of acetylcholinesterase levels and inhibition of oxidative stress. Abstract: Currently prescribed medications for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that are based on acetylcholinesterase inhibition only offer symptomatic relief but …
