Measles is a respiratory disease caused by a virus. The disease of measles and the virus that causes it share the same name. The disease is also called rubeola. Measles virus normally grows in the cells that line the back of the throat and lungs.

Symptoms

Measles causes fever, runny nose, cough and a rash all over the body. Visit the Signs and Symptoms page for more information, and the Photos of Measles page to see pictures of people with the measles rash.
Complications

About one out of 10 children with measles also gets an ear infection, and up to one out of 20 gets pneumonia. About one out of 1,000 gets encephalitis, and one or two out of 1,000 die. Other rash-causing diseases often confused with measles include roseola (roseola infantum) and rubella (German measles).

While measles is almost gone from the United States, it still kills an estimated 164,000 people each year around the world. Measles can also make a pregnant woman have a miscarriage or give birth prematurely. For more information, visit the Complications page.

Transmission

Measles spreads through the air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. It is so contagious that any child who is exposed to it and is not immune will probably get the disease. See the Transmission page for more information.

From January 1 to May 2, 2014, 168 measles cases have been reported in the United States to CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). Since measles elimination was documented in the U.S. in 2000, annual reported cases have ranged from a low of 37 in 2004 to a high of 220 in 2011.

The Philippines is currently experiencing a large, ongoing measles outbreak (more than 26,000 suspected and 6,000 confirmed cases). Outbreaks in countries to which Americans often travel can directly contribute to an increase in measles cases in the U.S.

-The majority of the people who got measles are unvaccinated.
-Measles is still common in many parts of the world. Travelers with measles continue to bring the disease to the U.S.
-Measles can spread when it reaches a community in the U.S. where groups of people are unvaccinated.

Because nanoviricides operate in a biological/mechanical fashion, we don't need to worry that they will not work in humans. They work anywhere they are encountered by their target viruses. They have virtually no toxicity. They are cheap and have enormously long shelf lives. I would not hesitate to accept an injection right now. When the next pandemic inevitably arrives, I hope to do just that. ~ Patrick Cox

"The rapid development and deployment capability of our platform technology was demonstrated by how quickly we were able to create these drug candidates," said Dr. Eugene Seymour, MD, MPH, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, explaining, "The design of a set of viable ligands was completed [for MERS] in merely three weeks, and the initial syntheses took another four weeks."
