Defining and assessing measles elimination goals.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 May 2004

Papania Mark J, Orenstein Walter A

Abstract excerpt

Although 3 of 6 World Health Organization regions have established measles elimination targets, measles elimination goals are not well defined. In general, disease elimination has been defined as the reduction of incidence in a population to zero. However, measles is so contagious that zero incidence is difficult to achieve and sustain because the risk of imported measles remains while measles is endemic in any...
