In 1757, Francis Home, a Scottish physician, showed that measles is the result of an infectious agent in the blood of
those who are sick. John Enders and Dr. Thomas C. Peebles  created a vaccine in 1963,  and an improved vacine was created in 1968 by Maurice Hilleman.]]> 2018-11-13 20:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304007376 Signs and Symptoms jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304007621 Common signs and symptoms of the measles virus include, but are not limited to, high fever, runny nose, sore red eyes and very itchy red bumps that lasts for about seven days. The virus is most contagious for first three days. In serious cases, symptoms can include difficulty breathing, chest pain, coughing up blood, extreme fatigue, confusion and hallucinations, and fits or convulsions. During pregnancy, measles has be known to cause premature birth, miscarriage, or stillbirth. Diarrhea, vomiting, ear infections, eye infections, laryngitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and croup, and seizures associated with fever are among many of the more common complications. Uncommon complications may include hepatitis, squint (affects the eye muscles), encephalitis, meningitis. Rare complications include vision loss, heat and nervous system problems, and, rarest of all, a brain complication known as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). Infants, children with lack of proper diet and nutrients, those with weak immune systems, and those with leukemia have a higher risk of developing these complications.  Measles can cause death in serious situations.]]> 2018-11-13 20:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304007621 Host Organisms jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304008364 Humans are the only natural hosts for the measles virus. As a result, global eradication of the contagious virus is an attainable future goal.  ]]> 2018-11-13 20:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304008364 Type of life Cycle smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304008458 Measles reproduce through the lytic cycle. ]]> 2018-11-13 20:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304008458 Type of Transmission jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304008544 This highly contagious virus resides in the throat mucus and nose of an infected person. It is spread via sneezing and coughing and the virus can remain in the airspace in which an infected person sneezed or coughed for up to two hours. ]]> 2018-11-13 20:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304008544 Additional Interesting Facts jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304009228
  • Many worry that the vaccination for measles may cause development of autism in children though this is not true. Herd immunity is reduced when more people are not vaccinated.
  • In 2015, there was a large outbreak of measles in California's popular theme park, Disneyland.
  • About  89 780 people were killed by measles in the year 2016.
  • During the years 2000-2016 the vaccine stopped the death of about 20.4 million people.
  • About 134,200 people die a year from measles.
  • The measles virus is a pathogen.

Enders and Dr. Thomas C. Peebles obtained blood samples from various ill students during an outbreak in Boston, Massachusetts.They sought to isolate the measles virus in the student’s blood and create a measles vaccine. They succeeded in isolating measles in 13-year-old David Edmonston’s blood. Nine years later, their Edmonston-B strain of measles virus was transformed into a vaccine and licensed it in the United States. Maurice Hilleman created an improved and even weaker measles vaccine, and began to distribute it in 1968. This vaccine, known as the Edmonston-Enders strain has been the only measles vaccine used in the United States since. Measles vaccine is usually combined with mumps and rubella (MMR), or combined with mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV). The Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccine is currently very effective in the prevention of this virus.  While there is no cure for measles or prescription medication to treat the virus itself, there are multiple over-the-counter medications like Acetaminophen to help levitate symptoms.]]> 2018-11-13 20:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/304009726 jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305010769 2018-11-15 20:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305010769 jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305022917 2018-11-15 20:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305022917 jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305746615 2018-11-19 01:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305746615 jrosling https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305747063 2018-11-19 01:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305747063 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305761738 2018-11-19 03:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305761738 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305762747 2018-11-19 03:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305762747 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305762852 2018-11-19 03:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305762852 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305765824 2018-11-19 03:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305765824 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305771904 2018-11-19 04:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305771904 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305773219 Picture of Measles Virus ]]> 2018-11-19 04:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305773219 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305773488           Diagram of the Lytic Cycle]]> 2018-11-19 04:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305773488 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305773834 Threat to Unborn Children ]]> 2018-11-19 04:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305773834 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305774084 Rash Caused by Measles ]]> 2018-11-19 04:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305774084 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305774645 History of Measles in the U.S.]]> 2018-11-19 05:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305774645 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305774961   Importance of Vaccinating ]]> 2018-11-19 05:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305774961 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305775010                                         Summary ]]> 2018-11-19 05:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305775010 smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305775216  Coloured Microscopic Image of Virus]]> 2018-11-19 05:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305775216 Citations smasse https://padlet.com/smasse/ssodpc24kxqn/wish/305791613 (n.d.).
