The Paradigms of Measles Vaccinology

  • Chapter
Measles Virus

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 191))

Abstract

Measles is an eradicable disease. As in the case of smallpox, humans are the only natural host and the epidemic spread of both these diseases can only be maintained as a chain of serial direct transmissions of virus, involving acutely infected individuals. Furthermore the viruses causing the two diseases are monotypic and effective immunity can be induced by use of live vaccine viruses in each case. Whereas smallpox has been effectively eradicated for more than 15 years, measles continues to be a scourge in developing countries in spite of extensive vaccination campaigns. It is estimated that yearly one and a half million children die of the disease.
