Measles Virus

Uirusu, 2017
Measles virus (MeV) is exceptionally contagious and still a major cause of death in child.However, recently significant progress towards the elimination of measles has been made through increased vaccination coverage of measles-containing vaccines. The hemagglutinin (H) protein of MeV interacts with a cellular receptor, and this interaction is the ...

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

Measles virus

Uirusu
Measles virus is the pathogen that causes measles and is highly infectious. Measles virus uses two molecules as viral receptors: signaling lymphocytic activation molecule, expressed on immune cells, and nectin-4, expressed on epithelial cells. Usage of these receptors is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of measles.
