Waving goodbye to measles
Peter M. Strebel1 & Stephen L. Cochi1
Abstract
An innovative way of analysing statistics on measles incidence in England and Wales since 1944 reveals recurring waves of infection originating in large cities. The information can guide strategies for preventing the disease.
Measles tends to occur in epidemics. It causes severe complications, such as pneumonia and blindness, and often kills.
- Peter M. Strebel and Stephen L. Cochi are at the National Immunization Program, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia 30333, USA.
