Relatives of rubella virus in diverse mammals

Nature, 2020
Since 1814, when rubella was first described, the origins of the disease and its causative agent, rubella virus (Matonaviridae: Rubivirus), have remained unclear1. Here we describe ruhugu virus and rustrela virus in Africa and Europe, respectively, which

Seroprevalence of Rubella IgG in Women of Reproductive Age Group in a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022
Rubella is a highly contagious infection caused by the rubella virus. Mothers who develop rubella early in pregnancy have a 90% chance of transmitting the infection to their unborn babies.

The utility of measles and rubella IgM serology in an elimination setting, Ontario, Canada, 2009-2014.

PLoS ONE, 2017
In Canada, measles was eliminated in 1998 and rubella in 2000. Effective measles and rubella surveillance is vital in elimination settings, hinging on reliable laboratory methods. However, low-prevalence settings affect the predictive value of laboratory

Progress Toward Rubella and Congenital Rubella Syndrome Control and Elimination — Worldwide, 2012–2020

MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2022
Rubella virus is a leading cause of vaccine-preventable birth defects and can cause epidemics. Although rubella virus infection usually produces a mild febrile rash illness in children and adults, infection during pregnancy, especially during the first ...

A mathematical theoretical study of a particular system of Caputo–Fabrizio fractional differential equations for the Rubella disease model

, 2020
In this paper, we study the rubella disease model with the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative. The mathematical solution of the liver model is presented by a three-step Adams–Bashforth scheme. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are discussed

Immunogenicity and persistence of trivalent measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Lancet. Infectious Diseases (Print), 2020
Background Despite the universal use of the two-dose trivalent measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine in the past two decades, outbreaks of these diseases still occur in countries with high vaccine uptake, giving rise to concerns about primary and secondary
