Human contact with cattle, dogs and monkeys and genetic diversity of measles viruses.

Abstract excerpt

There is a very close contact among humans, cattle, dogs and monkeys in developing countries. That could lead to genetic alteration in morbillivirus isolates of measles, rinderpest, canine distemper. Emergence of novel morbillivirus strains and failures of prophylactic viral vaccines should be monitored by characterisation of genetic profiles of isolates in different species. Incorporation of additional epitopes...
