Measles
also referred to as morbilli or rubeola is an infection caused by
virus known as paramyxovirus which belongs to genus morbillivirus.
Measles is an infection of immune system, respiratory system and
skin. It is a highly contagious respiratory disease, typically
occurring due to more than 90% of the household contacts and more
than 50% contact in the day care centers or school. Measles is
observed to be spread through respiratory contact with infected
person’s nose and mouth fluid or directly through aerosol
transmission. Initially patients infected with show symptoms such as
cough, inflamed eyes, fever, sore throat, fever, runny nose, and red
blotchy skin rash. Later, with the disease progression the patients
show symptoms of diarrhea, pneumonia and spot like rashes that covers
the entire body. Among all the measles case reported only 10% of the
cases are complicated and for every ten children developing
encephalitis measles die and up to four show permanent brain damage.
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which causes progressive
brain degeneration is a late complication of measles and occurs in
about 1 in 25,000 cases.
Measles
is commonly a disease of children and in most of the developed
countries children are immunized against measles by the age of 18
months. Measles vaccines are generally part of MMR vaccine (mumps,
measles and rubella) vaccine. The vaccination is generally not
prescribed before 18 months as sufficient amount of immunoglobulins
are acquired by the new born through mother’s placenta. A second
dose of vaccine is usually administered during the age of four and
five, to increase the rate of immunity. Hence, in developed countries
to control the prevalence of measles vaccination rate are high.
However, in developing countries two doses of measles vaccination are
prescribed at the age of six months and two months. In addition to
vaccination, serological diagnosis is also performed for the
identification of measles infection. In these test diagnosis of IgG
and IgM antibodies is performed for the diagnosis of infection. The
global market for measles testing can be segmented on the basis of
diagnostic tests, instruments, technologies and end users. End users
section of the report can be analyzed on the basis of physician
offices, public health laboratories and commercial and private
laboratories.
The
global market for measles testing is expected to record significant
growth rate in the near future. The growth would be observed due to
advancement in immunodiagnostic technologies and automation.
Additionally growth in this industry would be fuelled by entry of new
market players, growing awareness about the disease and outbreaks of
the infection in the developing countries. For instance, in 2007 in
Japan large number of institutions and other industries were closed
as an attempt to contain the disease. Additionally as per the WHO
approximately 158,000 deaths were caused due to measles in 2011.
Hence, increasing prevalence of the infection would increase the
demand for measles testing.
North
America is observed to be the largest market for measles testing due
to presence of major market players based in this region. According
the Centers for Disease Control and prevention from January 1st 2014
to April 2014 approximately 6,000 confirmed and 26,000 suspected
cases of measles have been reported in Philippines. Hence, increasing
cases of patient diagnosed with measles would further trigger the
growth in this market. Europe is expected to record the second
position in the global measles testing market.
Abbott
Laboratories, Biomedical Diagnostics, Bio-Rad, Dako, Beckman Coulter,
BioMerieux, DiaSorin, Eiken and Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics and others
are some of the major players operating in clinical chemistry and
immunodiagnostics market.
