Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that primarily affects children and is characterized by symptoms such as high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash. It is spread through respiratory droplets and can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, or death, particularly in young children and immunocompromised individuals. Research in the field of measles focuses on understanding the virus, improving vaccines and vaccination strategies, tracking outbreaks, and developing treatments for the disease. Strategies to control and eliminate measles include achieving high vaccination coverage, strengthening surveillance systems, and implementing outbreak response measures.
