Abstract excerpt

Madagascar experienced a severe measles epidemic between September 2018 and mid-2019, resulting in more than 146,000 cases and 1200 deaths, primarily among children under 15 years of age. This epidemic occurred in a context of low vaccination coverage. Prior to this outbreak, no genotyping data were available for the measles virus (MeV) or rubella virus (RuV) in Madagascar. This study aimed to molecularly...
