RESULTS 8 correlated indicators met our analysis criteria: teenage pregnancy rate, neonatal mortality, mother mortality, measles immunization rate, post-neonatal mortality, AIDS incidence, male systolic blood pressure and cervical cancer mortality. The factor analysis reduced this set to 3 components or iHPIs, which could be grouped in ‘mother & child mortality’, ‘prevention’ and ‘AIDS incidenc...

Background:In the recent decade, the reverse genetics method has been broadly used for rescue of negative-stranded RNA viruses from cDNA or viral minigenomes. This technique has been applied to study different steps in virus replication and virus-host interactions. Reverse genetics could also be implemented for design of new vaccines. The T7 RNA polymerase activity as well as virus (nucleocapsi...

In Italy, during the course of the past century to the present-day, measles incidence underwent a remarkable decreasing trend that started well before the introduction of the national immunization programme. In this work, we aim at examining to what extent both the demographic transition, characterized by declining mortality and fertility rates over time, and the vaccination programme are respo...

In 1987, a mass immunization campaign against measles was carried out in the greater metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil. During a ten-day period, 4,194,174 children from 9 months to 14 years old, representing 86% of the target population, were vaccinated regardless of their previous vaccination status. Four months later, the prevalence of measles antibodies was evaluated through a random ...

During March to May 2006 the highest incidence of measles in New South Wales since 1998 provided an opportunity to estimate the effectiveness of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination program in preventing childhood measles, and describe any differences in clinical presentation between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. We reviewed records of all 33 notified cases of measles in children...
