Sero-prevalence of measles and rubella immunoglobulin G serum antibody in individuals 1–30 years old in England in 2018: implications for subsequent outbreaks prediction
Re for measles estimated from seroepidemiology using an antibody cut-off similar to that considered a correlate of protection for measles was a more accurate predictor of recent measles resurgences outside London than those estimated using mixture modelling of seronegatives or coverage data. Seroepidemiological studies are a useful adjunct to coverage data in monitoring population immunity and in predicting the potential for measles outbreaks.
