Rubella virus, scientific name Rubivirus rubellae, is a member of the genus Rubivirus and belongs to the family of Matonaviridae, whose members commonly have a genome of single-stranded RNA of positive polarity which is enclosed by an icosahedral capsid.DiseaseRubella Virus is a worldwide distributed human belonging to the Togavirus family of RNA viruses. It is transmitted by droplet infection. Around 50 % of all Rubella Virus infections are asymptomatic and often remain undetected. Following an incubation period of 14 to 21 days a blotchy papular facial rash may appear and spread to the body and extremities. This usually fades after one to three days. Infected children display unspecific symptoms such as snuffles, fever, headache, joint pains and swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck and throat region. With increasing age rare complications may rise, which include arthritis, encephalitis and thrombocytopenia with a resulting tendency to bleeding. Rubella Virus infection during pregnancy may lead to severe damage in the fetus. Consequently, theDetection and diagnosisThe detection of IgG antibodies directed against Rubella Virus by ELISA is valuable in determining the immune status. The detection of IgM antibodies is generally indicative of a primary infection, but can also be observed e. g. following reinfections. Due to the severe consequences for the fetus, pregnant women tested positive for IgM antibodies directed against Rubella Virus should be confirmed by additional testings, such as SERION avidity determination|
