Molecular assay reagents intended to identify epidemic parotitis (mumps) virus, an RNA virus of the family Paramyxoviridae, by detecting the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of the target virus. This virus is the etiologic agent of epidemic parotitis (also known as mumps), an infection characterized by swelling of one or both parotid glands that may also affect the pancreas, cause inflammation of the testes (orchitis) and affect the ovaries.
