Rural-urban gradient in seasonal forcing of measles transmission in Niger.

Abstract

Seasonally driven cycles of incidence have been consistently observed for a range of directly transmitted pathogens. Though frequently observed, the mechanism of seasonality for directly transmitted human pathogens is rarely well understood.

Measles hotspots and epidemiological connectivity.

Abstract

Though largely controlled in developed countries, measles remains a major global public health issue. Regional and local transmission patterns are rooted in human mixing behaviour across spatial scales.

Challenges in measuring measles case fatality ratios in settings without vital registration.

Abstract

Measles, a highly infectious vaccine-preventable viral disease, is potentially fatal. Historically, measles case-fatality ratios (CFRs) have been reported to vary from 0.1% in the developed world to as high as 30% in emergency settings.
