Yes, measles is caused by a pathogen known as the measles virus, which is a highly contagious virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Measles can lead to serious complications, particularly in young children and individuals with weakened immune systems. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles and its associated complications.
