A retrospective 5-year review of rubella in South Africa prior to the introduction of a rubella-containing vaccine.

PLoS ONE, 2022
South Africa has yet to introduce a rubella-containing vaccine (RCV) into its Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). Here we evaluated the incidence of laboratory-confirmed rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) cases over the years 2015 to ...

Improving sensitivity of oral fluid testing in IgG prevalence studies: application of mixture models to a rubella antibody survey [PDF]

, 2003
A method for the analysis of age-stratified antibody prevalence surveys is applied to a previously reported survey of antibody to rubella virus using oral fluid samples in which the sensitivity of the assay used was shown to be compromised.

Rubella seroprevalence among mothers and incidence of congenital rubella three years after rubella vaccine introduction in Vietnam

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2021
Following a rubella outbreak in 2011, Vietnam implemented a mass measles-rubella vaccination campaign for children aged 1–14 years in 2014–2015, further expanding the target age to 16–17 years in 2016; routine vaccination was introduced in 2014. However,

Seroprevalence of rubella virus antibodies among pregnant women in the Center and South-West regions of Cameroon.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Rubella infection in early pregnancy can lead to miscarriages, fetal death, or birth of an infant with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). In Cameroon, like in many developing countries, rubella surveillance is not well-established.

A case-control study of autism and mumps-measles-rubella vaccination using the general practice research database: design and methodology. [PDF]

, 2001
BACKGROUND: An association between mumps-measles-rubella (MMR) vaccination and the onset of symptoms typical of autism has recently been suggested. This has led to considerable concern about the safety of the vaccine.

Rubella immunity among pregnant women aged 15–44 years, Namibia, 2010

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background: The level of rubella susceptibility among women of reproductive age in Namibia is unknown. Documenting the risk of rubella will help estimate the potential burden of disease in Namibian women and the risk of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS ...

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.

Cost-effectiveness of measles and rubella elimination in low-income and middle-income countries. [PDF]

, 2023
BACKGROUND: Since 2000, the incidence of measles and rubella has declined as measles-rubella (MR) vaccine coverage increased due to intensified routine immunisation (RI) and supplementary immunisation activities (SIAs).
