Humoral and cellular immunity to measles and rubella virus antigens in healthy subjects

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2019
An issue of eradicating measles and rubella virus-induced infections currently remains unresolved, despite existing effective methods for specific prophylaxis and WHO’s commitment to a mass vaccination policy. While improving epidemic situation, analysis

Characterizing the dynamics of rubella relative to measles: the role of stochasticity [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Society Interface 10, 20130643 (2013), 2012
Rubella is a completely immunizing and mild infection in children. Understanding its behavior is of considerable public health importance because of Congenital Rubella Syndrome, which results from infection with rubella during early pregnancy and may entail a variety of birth defects.

Rubella Virus Infection, the Congenital Rubella Syndrome, and the Link to Autism [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019
Rubella is a systemic virus infection that is usually mild. It can, however, cause severe birth defects known as the congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) when infection occurs early in pregnancy. As many as 8%–13% of children with CRS developed autism during the rubella epidemic of the 1960s compared to the background rate of about 1 new case per 5000 ...

Do Neighborhoods Matter for Individual Decision‐Making? The Case of COVID‐19 Vaccination in Sweden

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Much research has highlighted the significance of neighborhood effects on individual‐level choices and outcomes. But it has proven difficult to disentangle the influence of those that an individual shares a residential space with from that of other peers, such as work colleagues and family members.

A novel cassette method for probe evaluation in the designed biochips [PDF]

, 2014
A critical step in biochip design is the selection of probes with identical hybridisation characteristics. In this article we describe a novel method for evaluating DNA hybridisation probes, allowing the fine-tuning of biochips, that uses cassettes with ...

Purification of Rubella Virus Particles

Journal of General Virology, 1969
Summary A procedure for the purification of rubella virus from infected suspensions of BHK 21 cells resulted in preparations containing 1 to 3 × 1010 p.f.u./ml. In sucrose gradient centrifugation the area of maximal infectivity (buoyant density of 1.175 g./ml.) coincided with peaks in haemagglutinating activity, and in E 260.

The Long‐Term Effects of In Utero Exposure to Rubella

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A rubella infection in early pregnancy poses a significant risk of damage to the foetus. In this paper, we examine the later‐life impact of a rubella outbreak that occurred in Ireland in 1956. Matching the outcomes of individuals born in 1954–1957 in the 2016 Irish Census of Population to the county‐level rubella incidence rate that was ...
