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 ...

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.

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.
