Measles has been in the news of late, such as the death of a child in Liverpool who contracted the virus: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3enyd9z4yyo, and the reports in the most recent Chariot (2025, no. 28) with reference to the LSHTM Viral podcast Podcasts | Research in action | LSHTM
The prevention of measles has been a public health concern for many years, as witnessed by documents in our collection, some of which are displayed in the Reading Room until 3 August.
Over the last five years, 23 of our MSc students have submitted their summer projects on measles or measles related topics.
