Mumps is a viral infection primarily affecting the salivary glands, but it can also affect other organs such as the gastrointestinal tract. It is transmitted by respiratory droplets and can lead to symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The other options listed either involve ingestion of contaminated food or water (staphylococcal enterotoxicosis, Vibrio gastroenteritis, bacillary dysentery) or are caused by various pathogens acquired through ingestion (traveler's diarrhea).
