The microbe that causes measles is the measles virus, a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. It is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus that is highly contagious and primarily spreads through respiratory droplets. The virus has surface proteins, such as hemagglutinin and fusion proteins, which facilitate its entry into host cells and contribute to immune evasion. Measles virus can lead to severe complications, particularly in malnourished individuals and those with weakened immune systems.
