Abstract_ Background The most often used mumps vaccine strains Jeryl Lynn JL RIT4385 Urabe-AM9 L-Zagreb and L-3 differ in immunogenicity and reactogenicity. Previous analyses showed that JL Urabe-AM9 and L-3 are genetically heterogeneous. Results We identified the heterogeneity of L-Zagreb throughout the entire genome. Two major variants were defined variant A being identical to the consensus sequence of viral seeds and vaccine s and variant B which differs from variant A in three nucleotide positions. The difference between viral variants in L-Zagreb strain is insufficient for distinct viral strains to be defined. We demonstrated .
