Measles

2010
Measles is a single-stranded RNA virus that is spread by aerosolized droplets and is highly transmissible. It causes a spectrum of disease ranging from mild in the well nourished to severe in the malnourished or immunosuppressed: mortality is 3 to 10% in Africa. Clinical features—10 to 14 days after infection the viral prodrome typically

Measles

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2005
The purpose of this review is to summarize important papers concerning measles disease and measles-containing vaccines published in 2004.Endemic measles has been successfully controlled in the Americas and, to a lesser extent, in Europe.

The pathogenesis of measles

Current Opinion in Virology, 2012
Measles is an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Measles virus (MV) is transmitted via the respiratory route and causes systemic disease. Over the last decade, identification of new cellular receptors and studies in animal models have challenged the historic concepts of measles pathogenesis. It is thought that

Immune Responses to Measles and Measles Vaccine: Challenges for Measles Control

Viral Immunology, 2001
Most strategies for reducing global measles morbidity and mortality and eliminating measles are based on the ability to enhance immune responses to measles virus. Challenges to measles elimination and eradication are based in part on the need to sustain high levels of population immunity to interrupt transmission of measles virus.

German Measles and German Measles in Pregnancy

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1957
For 15 years German measles has been known to hold serious risks for the human embryo if contracted by the expectant mother during pregnancy. Yet, little progress has been made toward control of the disease. Furthermore, no firm epidemiologic observations have been collected to confirm the clinical evidence—although this is convincing enough.
