THE NATURE OF THE VIRUS OF MEASLES
As soon as we had satisfied ourselves of the susceptibility of the monkey to inoculation with measles 1 we turned our attention to the study of the nature of the virus as it exists in the circulating blood. Accordingly we made experiments to determine its filterability, its resistance to drying, heat, freezing and "age," and now desire to present ...

Time, place, person: Field epidemiology as a political practice
Abstract Five years after the end of the Ebola epidemic, a district in Sierra Leone received a measles alert. This article tells the story of the epidemic that followed and the response that was mounted in the context of the new global epidemic preparedness and biosecurity paradigms that govern the management of health emergencies.

Promotion of oral fluid methods for evaluation and surveillance of the measles immunization programme in Ethiopia [PDF]
This work aims to demonstrate the use of oral-fluid methods in evaluating the effectiveness of a vaccination programme at the individual (vaccine conversion) and population levels (herd immunity and virus transmission and origin) within a developing ...

Inactivation trajectories of virus‐laden particles in rooms with different ventilation rates as they move under the light of a variety of Far‐UVC devices. Abstract Recent experimental studies have indicated the potential for ultraviolet C irradiation at 222 nm (Far‐UVC) to be used in occupied rooms to safely reduce exposure to airborne pathogens.

Heterogeneity of Virus Particles in Measles Virus
A heterogeneous population of virions is generated by measles virus-infected cells. These particles are partially separable by sucrose density centrifugation into three peaks. Each population is stable and contains infectious particles. The particles of all three populations contain at least six polypeptide species that differ between particle ...

ABSTRACT Pakistan has hosted Afghan refugees for more than four decades, in one of the world's most protracted displacements of people. Afghan refugees receive health services through United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and non‐governmental organisation (NGO) supported programmes alongside public sector facilities at every tier.
