How does measles grow?

Answer 1

Measles is caused by the measles virus, which is an RNA virus that primarily grows in the respiratory tract after transmission through respiratory droplets from an infected person. Once inside the host, the virus attaches to and enters the epithelial cells of the throat and lungs, where it replicates and spreads to other tissues. The immune response to the virus contributes to the symptoms of measles, including fever, cough, and rash, as the virus disseminates throughout the body. The growth of the virus is facilitated by its ability to evade the immune system during the initial stages of infection.
