Measles (also known as rubeola or morbilli) is one of the world’s oldest and most deadly preventable diseases in human beings. It is a highly contagious viral infection and a known infectious disease of the respiratory system caused by a virus of the paramyxovirus family (known as Morbillivirus). The isolation of the measles virus in 1954 and the introduction of the vaccine in 1963 represent milestones of scientific efforts concerning measles research.
