“…In striped dolphins, an epizootic event might cause thousands of new infections in a short period of time within a specific area, thus leading to the occurrence of a much higher incidence of DMV-CNS-localised disease in dolphins in the years following an epizootic event. In humans, SSPE is estimated to occur at a proportional morbidity rate of 4 to 11 cases of SSPE per 100 000 cases of measles (Campbell et al 2007). The striped dolphin population has been estimated in central Spanish Mediterranean waters during the period from 2001 to 2003 to be 15 778 individuals (95% CI = 10 940 to 22 756) by line transect sampling (Gómez de Segura et al 2006) and 16 892 animals (CV = 0.16) by spatial modelling methods (Gómez de Segura et al 2007).…”

Dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) has caused 2 epizootics with high mortality rates on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, in 1990 and 2006-07, mainly affecting striped dolphins Stenella coeruleoalba. Following the first epizootic unusual DMV infections affecting only the central nervous system of striped dolphins were found, with histological features similar to subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and old dog encephalitis, the chronic latent localised infections caused by defective forms of measles virus and canine distemper virus, respectively. Between 2008 and 2010, monitoring by microscopic and immunohistochemical (IHC) studies of 118 striped dolphins stranded along Catalonia, the Valencia Region and Andalusia showed similar localised DMV nervous system infections in 25.0, 28.6 and 27.4% of cases, respectively, with no significant differences among regions or sex. The body length of DMV-infected dolphins was statistically greater than that of non-infected dolphins (196.5 vs. 160.5 cm; p < 0.001). Molecular detection of DMV was performed by 2 different RT-PCR techniques amplifying a 429 bp fragment and a 78 bp fragment both within the phosphoprotein (P) gene. 96: 187-194, 2011

“…When maternal measles infection occurs around the time of delivery, the risk of SSPE may increase for the infant, with a short latent period and a fulminant course, because of the absence of maternal antibodies and the immaturity of the neonatal immune system. 6 Therefore, there is a high risk of morbidity and mortality as a result of measles infection during pregnancy for the mother, fetus, and neonate. We should be very aware of the risk of measles infections during pregnancy.…”

We investigated the prevalence of measles-sensitive pregnant women and the clinical usefulness of measles vaccination in postpartum women. Measles antibody levels were measured in 751 pregnant women. Forty-four women were vaccinated postpartum, and screened for antibody levels and adverse effects 1 month after vaccination. The prevalence of measles-sensitive pregnant women was 10-20%, with the highest prevalence in those under 24 years of age. Almost all (97.7%) vaccinated women acquired immunity, and did not show any adverse effects. Serum measles antibody levels should be determined in all pregnant women as a screening tool, and sensitive women should be vaccinated immediately after delivery.

“…Symptoms may begin subtly, with behavioral changes and intellectual decline, and progress to generalized convulsions, dementia, and death. Data from the UK and USA place the incidence of SSPE at 4-11 cases per 100,000 cases of measles [48].…”

“…In countries with good measles control through vaccination, a decline in new SSPE cases is observable a few years following a decline in measles incidence [48,50] and when epidemics occur, an increase in SSPE is observable after a few years. Measles vaccinations, combined with surveillance and SSPE registers, have reduced the incidence of SSPE by 82-96 % in the UK, USA, the Netherlands, Israel, Poland, and Bulgaria [48].…”

Vaccines for neuroinfectious diseases are becoming an ever-increasing global health priority, as neurologic manifestations and sequelae from existing and emerging central nervous system infections account for significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. The prevention of neurotropic infections can be achieved through globally coordinated vaccination campaigns, which have successfully eradicated nonzoonotic agents such as the variola viruses and, hopefully soon, poliovirus. This review discusses vaccines that are currently available or under development for zoonotic flaviviruses and alphaviruses, including Japanese and tick-borne encephalitis, yellow fever, West Nile, dengue, Zika, encephalitic equine viruses, and chikungunya. Also discussed are nonzoonotic agents, including measles and human herpesviruses, as well as select bacterial, fungal, and protozoal pathogens. While therapeutic vaccines will be required to treat a multitude of ongoing infections of the nervous system, the ideal vaccination strategy is preexposure vaccination, with the ultimate goals of minimizing disease associated with zoonotic viruses and the total eradication of nonzoonotic agents.

Review of the effect of measles vaccination on the epidemiology of SSPE

Abstract: Successful measles vaccination programmes directly and indirectly protect the population against SSPE and have the potential to eliminate SSPE through the elimination of measles. Epidemiological and virological data suggest that measles vaccine does not cause SSPE.
