Evaluation of a measles vaccine campaign by oral-fluid surveys in a rural Kenyan district: interpretation of antibody prevalence data using mixture models [PDF]

, 2009
We evaluated the effectiveness of a measles vaccine campaign in rural Kenya, based on oral-fluid surveys and mixture-modelling analysis. Specimens were collected from 886 children aged 9 months to 14 years pre-campaign and from a comparison sample of 598

High-Affinity DARPin Allows Targeting of MeV to Glioblastoma Multiforme in Combination with Protease Targeting without Loss of Potency

Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2019
Measles virus (MeV) is naturally cytolytic by extensive cell-to-cell fusion. Vaccine-derived MeV is toxic for cancer cells and is clinically tested as oncolytic virus.

Formation of humoral and cellular immunity to measles vaccine in adults

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2020
Despite adherence to the policy of mass measles vaccination in the majority of countries, this infection still remains far from being fully eradicated. Measles outbreaks are reported worldwide, when the vast majority of cases are recorded in subjects of ...

Seroepidemiology of measles in Addis Ababa Ethiopia: implications for control through vaccination [PDF]

, 2003
We undertook a representative survey of measles antibodies in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 1994, to characterize immunity and transmission. Specific-antibody levels (IU/l) were determined by ELISA for 4654 sera from individuals aged 0–49 years (1805

Vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies bind to the H protein of a historical measles virus

International Journal of Medical Microbiology
Measles is a highly contagious airborne viral disease. It can lead to serious complications and death and is preventable by vaccination. The live-attenuated measles vaccine (LAMV) derived from a measles virus (MV) isolated in 1954 has been in use ...

Novel Polyomaviruses in Mammals from Multiple Orders and Reassessment of Polyomavirus Evolution and Taxonomy

Viruses, 2019
As the phylogenetic organization of mammalian polyomaviruses is complex and currently incompletely resolved, we aimed at a deeper insight into their evolution by identifying polyomaviruses in host orders and families that have either rarely or not been ...

Genetic characterization of measles virus circulating in Iran, 2021–2023

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Measles, an ongoing public health concern, demands continuous molecular surveillance and virus characterization for elimination. Despite Iran achieving measles elimination status in 2019 through robust molecular testing and vaccination, the ...

Development and evaluation of a next-generation sequencing methodology for measles virus using Oxford Nanopore Technology

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
We report the development of a bench protocol and evaluation of bioinformatics pipelines for the whole genome sequence (WGS) of measles virus (MeV) genotype D8. We established a bench protocol using 1 kb amplicons tiling the MeV WGS.
