SO IMMATURE!!

• The Antonine Plague, 165-180 AD, also known as the Plague of Galen, who described it, was probably smallpox or measles.
• Disease killed as much as one-third of the population in some areas, and decimated the Roman army.
• The first scientific description of measles and its distinction from smallpox and chickenpox is credited to the Persian physician, Muhammad ibn Zakariya ar-Razi (860-932), known to the West as "Rhazes", who published a book entitled The Book of Smallpox and Measles (in Arabic: Kitab fi al-jadari wa-al-hasbah).
• Measles is an endemic disease, meaning that it has been continually present in a community, and many people develop resistance.
• In populations that have not been exposed to measles, exposure to a new disease can be devastating.
• In 1529, a measles outbreak in Cuba killed two-thirds of the natives who had previously survived smallpox.
• Two years later measles was responsible for the deaths of half the population of Honduras, and had ravaged Mexico, Central America, and the Inca civilization.
• In roughly the last 150 years, measles has been estimated to have killed about 200 million people worldwide.[34] During the 1850s, measles killed a fifth of Hawaii's people.
• In 1875, measles killed over 40,000 Fijians, approximately one-third of the population.
• In the 19th century, the disease decimated the Andamanese population.
• In 1954, the virus causing the disease was isolated from an 11-year old boy from the United States, David Edmonston, and adapted and propagated on chick embryo tissue culture.
• To date, 21 strains of the measles virus have been identified.
• While at Merck, Maurice Hilleman developed the first successful vaccine.
• Licensed vaccines to prevent the disease became available in 1963

Answer 2

Well, it has nothing to do with Germany; it comes from the Latin word "germanus," meaning "similar," since rubella and measles share similar symptoms.

Answer 3

Nobody knows where or when it started, but the virus was actually isolated in the 1960's and from there they created a vaccine for it.
