Measles is caused by a highly contagious morbillivirus that spreads through the air and causes fever, rash and, in some cases, serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis.
What is Measles?
Measles is caused by a highly contagious morbillivirus that spreads through the air and causes fever, rash and, in some cases, serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis.
It is vaccine-preventable (MMR). Anti-measles IgG/IgM ELISA is used to confirm infection, assess immunity and monitor vaccine coverage, alongside recombinant nucleoprotein and haemagglutinin antigens.
Transmission & symptoms
Measles is among the most contagious human viruses, spreading through the air and causing fever, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis and a characteristic maculopapular rash. Complications include pneumonia, encephalitis and immune amnesia; it is vaccine-preventable with MMR.
Diagnosis & serology
Diagnosis uses anti-measles IgM (recent infection) and IgG (immunity/past exposure) by ELISA, with the nucleoprotein (N) and haemagglutinin (H) as key antigens. IgG is the standard immunity correlate for outbreak and vaccine studies.
Research applications
Research tools cover measles entry receptors — CD46, the immune-cell receptor SLAM/CD150 and the epithelial receptor nectin-4 (PVRL4) — and the interferon response, relevant to tropism, oncolytic-virus and vaccine research.
