Progress Toward Regional Measles Elimination — Worldwide, 2000–2019

MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2020
In 2010, the World Health Assembly (WHA) set the following three milestones for measles control to be achieved by 2015: 1) increase routine coverage with the first dose of measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) among children aged 1 year to ≥90% at the ...

Long-term immunogenicity after measles vaccine vs. wild infection: an Italian retrospective cohort study

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2021
The persistence of specific IgG after measles infection and after measles vaccination has not been sufficiently investigated. Current evidence suggests that immunity after the disease is life-long, whereas the response after two doses of measles ...

Measles virus nucleo- and phosphoproteins form liquid-like phase-separated compartments that promote nucleocapsid assembly

Science Advances, 2020
Measles virus proteins form liquid droplets where they can encapsidate their genomic material. Many viruses are known to form cellular compartments, also called viral factories.

Evidence of Circulation of Several HAV Genetic Variants and Emergence of Potential Antigenic Variants in an Endemo-Epidemic Country before Vaccine Introduction

Viruses, 2021
Similar to several other countries in the world, the epidemiology of hepatitis A virus changed from high to intermediate endemicity level in Tunisia, which led to the occurrence of outbreaks.

Enhanced lysis by bispecific oncolytic measles viruses simultaneously using HER2/neu or EpCAM as target receptors

Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2016
To target oncolytic measles viruses (MV) to tumors, we exploit the binding specificity of designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins). These DARPin-MVs have high tumor selectivity while maintaining excellent oncolytic potency.

Estimates of measles case fatality ratios: a comprehensive review of community-based studies. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Global deaths from measles have decreased notably in past decades, due to both increases in immunization rates and decreases in measles case fatality ratios (CFRs).
