Measles is a disease of public health importance that is associated with high morbidity and mortality particularly in developing countries. In recent years widespread application of measles vaccine among children has led to decline in morbidity and mortality attributed to measles. In the city of Gweru in Zimbabwe operations research was carried on the epidemiology and control of measles. On account of these studies, a seven year multiple dose measles vaccination intervention was carried out in Gweru in 1990-1996. The results of this intervention played a significant role in the debate that led to the adoption of the WHO/UNICEF current policy on use of multiple dose measles vaccination strategies in the control of measles in developing countries. A critical lesson that has arisen from the Gweru city measles operations research effort has been that fairly low cost, simple research makes a world of difference in providing insight into the epidemiology and control of locally endemic disease conditions.--

Measles virus, one of the most contagious of all human viruses, has been largely contained by the development and use of a vaccine that was introduced 50 years ago. These two volumes were timed to honor the introduction of the vaccine and to record the enormous advancements made in understanding the molecular and cell biology, pathogenesis, and control of this infectious disease. Where vaccine has been effectively delivered, endemic measles virus transmission has been eliminated. However, difficulties in vaccine delivery, lack of health care support and objection to vaccination in some communities continue to result in nearly 40 million cases and over 300,000 deaths per year from measles.
