Image: Ultrastructural appearance of a single measles virus particle as revealed by thin-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is 100–200 nm in diameter, with a core of single-stranded RNA, and is closely related to the rinderpest and canine distemper viruses (Photo courtesy of the CDC - [US] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Experimental Drug Protects Animal Model from Measles-Like Virus

Working with an animal model that mimics measles in humans, a team of molecular virologists have verified that a novel antiviral drug may complement the currently used vaccine and lead to eradication of the disease.  More...
