The response to measles revaccination was evaluated in 1994 among 202 Bolivian school-aged children whose antibody levels were below 200 miu (milli-international units) by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) in a large-scale serosurvey conducted in Santa Cruz one year earlier. Of the 202 revaccinated

In order to evaluate the true immune status and the effect of revaccination on a young adult population, we collected serum samplesfrom 289 military recruits who were vaccinated during an outbreak in 1991. Most vaccinees, age 18-25 years, had apparently been immunized once before as infants. Sera co
Serological evidence indicates that measles virus (MV) could circulate in seropositive, fully protected populations. Among individuals fully protected against disease, those prone to asymptomatic secondary immune response are the most likely to support subclinical MV transmission. The serological ch
