1221Air and Surface Burden of Measles Virus in a Hospital Setting

Construction of a Minigenome Rescue System for Measles Virus, AIK-c Strain

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...

Efficacy and safety of live attenuated Sugiyama strain of measles virus in mass immunization of children in rural regions of Iran

Excessive Attenuation of Measles Virus as a Possible Cause of Failure in Measles Immunization

Isolation and characterization of a defective measles virus from brain biopsies of three patients in Iran with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis

APPLICATION OF DOT IMMUNOASSAY (DIA) FOR DETECTION AND TITRATION OF MEASLES VIRUS ANTIBODIES

Measles is one of the most contagious human diseases. Although mass vaccination programs have reduced the incidence of this disease, measles is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. Therefore the use of sensitive techniques to evaluate vaccine efficacy and level of immunity among members of susceptible communities is crucial. Serum neut...
