Overview
Parotitis was first discovered by Hippocrates in the 5th century B.C.E. Claude D. Johnson M.D. and Ernest W. Goodpasture M.D. discovered the mumps virus, the most common cause of parotitis. The mumps virus was first isolated in 1945 by K. Habel and John Enders, leading to the first clinical trials to develop vaccinations. The mumps vaccine was developed by Maurice Hilleman and colleagues in December 1967, immunizing against the most common parotitis cause.
