Reports of measles go as far back to at least 600 B!.C!. however, the first scientific description of the disease and its distinction from smallpox is attributed to the Persian physician Ibn Razi (Rhazes) 860-932 who published a book entitled "The Book of Smallpox and Measles" (in Arabic: Kitab fi al-jadari wa-al-hasbah)!. In roughly the last 150 years, measles has been estimated to have killed about 200 million people worldwide!.[1] In 1954, the virus causing the disease was isolated from an 11-year old boy from the US, David Edmonston, and adapted and propagated on chick embryo tissue culture!.[2] To date, 21 strains of the measles virus have been identified!.[3] Licensed vaccines to prevent the disease became available in 1963!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It can also be transmitted by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the face. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles.
The subject, in fighting off their first bout of measles, developed an antibody specifically effective against measles, and becomes able to reproduce this if re-exposed. The infection is then typically killed off before it becomes symptomatic.
