In 2013, the 66th session of the Regional Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region (SEAR) established a goal to eliminate measles and to control rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in SEAR by 2020. Current recommended measles elimination strategies in the region include 1) achieving and maintaining ≥95% coverage with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine...
Measles virus genes encoding the haemagglutinin (HA), fusion protein (F) or nucleoprotein (NP) have been inserted into the vaccinia virus genome either alone or in various combinations. In each case the measles virus genes were expressed from the 7.5K promoter and were incorporated into the thymidine kinase (tk) or K1L loci of the Copenhagen strain of vaccinia virus. Cells infected by the recom...
Measles is a highly contagious disease causing an estimated 2.6 million deaths per year before a vaccine was developed. However, the attenuated measles vaccine has brought the disease under control. Vaccine-associated measles can occur in children and immunocompromised individuals. Little is known about the occurrence of vaccine-associated measles in healthy adults because preschool children us...
In the United States, approximately 9% of the measles cases reported from 2012 to 2014 occurred in vaccinated individuals. Laboratory confirmation of measles in vaccinated individuals is challenging since IgM assays can give inconclusive results. Although a positive reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay result from an appropriately timed specimen can provide confirmation, negative results may no...
Measles, a highly contagious viral disease, is a major childhood killer in developing countries, accounting for almost 1 million deaths every year globally. Measles virus normally does not cause a persistent infection, no animal reservoir for measles virus exists, no vector is involved in its spread, only one serotype exists, the virus is antigenically stable and vaccination with the currently ...
OBJECTIVES Measles was endemic in England during the early 1800s; however, it did not arrive in Australia until 1850 whereas other infectious diseases were known to have arrived much earlier-many with the First Fleet in 1788-leading to the question of why there was a difference. DESIGN Ships surgeons' logbooks from historical archives, 1829-1882, were retrospectively reviewed for measles outb...
BACKGROUND Despite a high coverage with measles vaccines in parts of west Africa, epidemics of measles occur with reduced severity in an increasing proportion of older children who have been vaccinated. We examined the effect of exposure to natural measles on immunity in vaccinated children. METHODS Our study was carried out in 1992 during an epidemic of measles in Niakhar, a rural area of Se...
BACKGROUND The most appropriate public health approach to vaccine-associated measles in immunocompromised patients is unknown, mainly because these cases are rare and transmission of vaccine-associated measles has not been previously documented. In this case report, we describe Peel Public Health's response to a vaccine-associated measles case in an immunocompromised child in Ontario, Canada. ...
BACKGROUND Despite substantial progress toward measles control are making in China, measles outbreaks in immunocompromised population still pose a challenge to interrupt endemic transmission. This study aimed to investigate the features of measles in pediatric hematology and oncology patients and explore the reasons behind the outbreak. METHODS We collected demographic, epidemiological, and c...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Under the outbreak-based measles surveillance in Maharashtra State the National Institute of Virology at Pune receives 3-5 serum samples from each outbreak and samples from the local hospitals in Pune for laboratory diagnosis. This report describes one year data on the measles and rubella serology, virus isolation and genotyping. METHODS Maharashtra State Health Agenci...
