Assessment of measles immunity among infants in Maputo City, Mozambique
BACKGROUND The optimum age for measles vaccination varies from country to country and thus a standardized vaccination schedule is controversial. While the increase in measles vaccination coverage has produced significant changes in the epidemiology of infection, vaccination schedules have not been adjusted. Instead, measures to cut wild-type virus transmission through mass vaccination campaigns...
متن کاملMeasles immunity among young adults in Victoria.
Measles outbreaks in Victoria in 1999 and 2001 have suggested that a substantial proportion of young Victorian adults may be susceptible to measles infection. We performed a serosurvey of 300 18-30-year-old healthy blood donors and 312 sera retrieved after diagnostic testing for a non-rash illness in patients of the same age group, with the aim of estimating the proportion of young adults in Vi...
متن کاملEpidemiological investigation of measles in sera of healthy people in Heilongjiang Province, China.
Serological samples of healthy people were collected to obtain the levels of measles antibodies in different groups of people in Heilongjiang Province, China. Using quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to measure the antibody levels, we found the lowest antibody positive rate and the lowest geometric mean concentration values in healthy people aged 15-39. This group is the population...
متن کاملSerological Epidemiology in Measles **
One usually thinks of measles as a minor childhood illness through which we all must pass and as a nuisance more than a danger. But this was not always the case. In colonial America, two hundred years ago, measles was dreaded like the plague, and today in remote parts of the world, on isolated islands and in the Arctic, it can be a devastating disease. Even here and now in the United States it ...
متن کاملGlobal distribution of measles genotypes and measles molecular epidemiology.
A critical component of laboratory surveillance for measles is the genetic characterization of circulating wild-type viruses. The World Health Organization (WHO) Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network (LabNet), provides for standardized testing in 183 countries and supports genetic characterization of currently circulating strains of measles viruses. The goal of this report is to describe the l...
