measles virus

To date, 21 strains of the measles virus have been identified.

Enders and his team went on to culture the measles virus.

Humans are the only natural host of measles virus.

Avoid becoming pregnant for at least 3 months after receiving a measles virus vaccine.

Vaccines against the flu and measles virus are made in chicken eggs.

The measles virus can travel through the air.

You should not receive a measles virus vaccine if you are pregnant.

How can measles virus escape the body's natural defences to wreak such havoc?

Like any vaccine, the measles virus vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.

Risk factors for measles virus infection include the following:

Outbreaks are still occurring, however, following importations of measles viruses from other world regions.

One was that because the measles virus infected humans, and not animals, breaking the person-to-person chain would stop transmission.

In rare cases, however, the measles virus survived within the body after the conventional measles attack had run its course.

For a few weeks after vaccination, tell any doctor who treats you that you have received the measles virus vaccine.

Acute measles encephalitis is another serious risk of measles virus infection.

He remained with Enders for 12 years during which time they developed the attenuated measles virus vaccine now used throughout the world.

The outbreak lasted 25 weeks, included more than one strain of the measles virus and had 12-17 generations of spread.

Reverse genetics of measles virus and resulting multivalent recombinant vaccines.

It helped scientists discover new respiratory viruses and allowed them to culture the measles virus to make a vaccine against it.

Measles virus, for example, usually follows the cycle of acute infection until it is defeated by our defence mechanisms and the disease disappears.

The measles virus vaccine is a live-virus vaccine used to help prevent this disease in children and adults.

The measles virus is the cause of measles, an infection of the respiratory system.

But the airborne measles virus is so contagious that a second vaccination, given either routinely or in a mass campaign, is often needed.

Thomas C. Peebles, 89, American physician, isolated the measles virus.

Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by the measles virus, which attacks the throat and lungs.
