New Measles Outbreaks: Not Linked to Texas
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
U.S. officials scramble to prove new measles outbreaks in South Carolina, Utah, and Arizona are not linked to last years Texas outbreak, which saw over 2,600 cases. The countrys measles elimination status, earned in 2000, hangs in the balance as experts worry about gaps in reporting and potential missing links. Genetic tests suggest the new outbreaks are different from Texas, but scientists caution that broader circulation at home could put the elimination claim at risk as the review looms.
