Can you illustrate the ways which the Rubella virus is trasmitted and explain how to prevent the transmission.


basically i need all the details.
Also you dont have to tell me what a rubella virus is, i already know it.

It is airborne- to prevent it- wear a mask around said person or better yet- get the vaccine

The only way to prevent transmission is to stay away from the infected person.

Best way is to have already had the innoculation for Rubella.

Rubella is a contagious viral infection that may produce adenopathy, rash, and sometimes constitutional symptoms that are usually mild and brief. Infection during early pregnancy can cause spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, or congenital defects. Diagnosis is usually clinical. Treatment is usually unnecessary. Vaccination is effective.
Please see the web pages for more details on Rubella and MMR vaccine.

Rubella virus can be spread by close contact with an infected person, respiratory aerosols and by congenital (transplacental) infections. Rubella is a known terratogen and causes severe disease if infection occurs in the 1st trimester of pregnancy.

Prevention: A live attenuated vaccine is the best measure. Congenital infections can be prevented by vaccinating women of child bearing age.
