MEASLES

Moss & Griffin, The Lancet, January 2012

http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)62352-5/fulltext

The paper by Moss and Griffin predates the decision by the W.H.O. governing body for Southeast Asia Region to opt for regional measles elimination. As of today, all six W.H.O. regions are committed to measles elimination.

The 2009 W.H.O. position paper on measles vaccine is at http://www.who.int/wer/2009/wer8435.pdf               

There are several Cochrane reviews on measles and measles vaccination, all of them accessible online at    http://www.cochrane.org/search/reviews/MEASLES                    

Future research topics on measles are the subject of a paper by Goodson and colleagues at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22549089
