Molecular aspects of the teratogenesis of rubella virus [PDF]
Biological Research, 2019 Rubella or German measles is an infection caused by rubella virus (RV). Infection of children and adults is usually characterized by a mild exanthematous febrile illness. However, RV is a major cause of birth defects and fetal death following infection in pregnant women.

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 ...

Membrane Sphingomyelin in Host Cells Is Essential for Nucleocapsid Penetration into the Cytoplasm after Hemifusion during Rubella Virus Entry. [PDF]
mBio, 2022 The lipid composition of the host cell membrane is one of the key determinants of the entry of enveloped viruses into cells. To elucidate the detailed mechanisms behind the cell entry of rubella virus (RuV), one of the enveloped viruses, we searched for ...

Analysis of whole genome sequences of 16 strains of rubella virus from the United States, 1961–2009
Virology Journal, 2013 Rubella virus is the causative agent of rubella, a mild rash illness, and a potent teratogenic agent when contracted by a pregnant woman. Global rubella control programs target the reduction and elimination of congenital rubella syndrome.

Antibody response to individual rubella virus proteins in congenital and other rubella virus infections [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1985 Serum samples from patients with various forms of rubella virus infection were tested for antibodies to each of three viral structural proteins by radioimmunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In most sera antibody to E1 protein was the predominant species.
