Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 9AYP
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The relative dangers of rubella and rubeola viruses in different populations.
Concept introduction:
Rubella is a viral disorder and also known as German measles. Two forms of rubella are identified: postnatal rubella and congenital rubella. The causative agent of rubella is a Rubivirus; a non-segmented single-stranded RNA virus.
