German measles is a mild infectious illness caused by the rubella virus, which is why it is sometimes called rubella. There is no connection between German measles and measles. which is caused by a different virus.

German measles is caused by a virus, and is spread by fine droplets of moisture, which contains the virus. The droplets are produced when the infected person coughs, sneezes or even talks and another person then inhales these droplets and may become infected.
