Overview
Despite the impact of primary prevention with vaccination in the incidence of measles there is still no specific antiviral treatment for the disease once it develops. Most developing countries are still severely affected by the high incidence of this conditions, in part due to the absence of an adequate vaccination system. Therefore, it is essential the role of research in developing a more adequate approach to the disease, once it is established. Also, the development of easier and less expensive ways of bringing the vaccine to populations in developing countries would greatly contribute to a potential eradication of measles.
