Durland Fish, professor emeritus of epidemiology (microbial diseases) at Yale School of Public Health and a co-author of the article, argues that such a vaccine could also be delivered orally within bait that would be consumed by deer. Ideally, he said, ticks would then be unable to feed ...
Since the 1960s, the availability of an inexpensive, highly effective, and safe vaccine has led to the elimination of domestic circulation of the virus in many countries, yet measles remains a serious global health problem in 2013. An estimated 250,000 children died of this highly contagious di...
