内容介绍：Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine program was introduced in Jiangsu  province of China in May 2008 and have greatly contributed to decreasing of  mumps cases. However, mumps is re-emerging after year 2015. A number of studies  have put forward that the resurgence of mumps is due to vaccine failure. In this  talk, we investigate other reasons of the re-emerging of mumps, such as the  changes in seasonal transmission patterns and demographic structures using an  age-structured mathematical model. We divided the history (2005.01-2019.05) of  mumps epidemics of Jiangsu province into three different stages (period): no  vaccine stage (2005.01-2008.12), effectively controlled stage (2009.01-2015.12)  and resurgence stage (2016.01-2019.05). The features of mumps epidemics in three  stages, such as seasonality and basic reproduction number R0, are compared under  different demographic structures with same physical contact rate. We found that  the mumps transmission rate was increasing in summer, changes in demographic  structure is explained why the mumps outbreaks among 10 years of children in  stage I and among 5 years of children in stage III. We have concluded that the  vaccine failure, changes in seasonality and demographic structure were  associated with the mumps outbreak in recent years. We give the patterns of  mumps dynamics considering age, vaccine and seasonality, which can help health  program planners to implement more preventive interventions in mumps control  during the period of higher risk of infection.
