There are two types of measles. Although they share some of the same symptoms, they are caused by different viruses:

1.) Standard measles, sometimes known as red measles, or hard measles, is caused by the rubeola virus.

2.) German measles, also known as rubella, is an entirely separate illness caused by the rubella virus and is usually a milder infection than standard measles.
