摘要

Japan is one of the countries conducting longitudinal serosurveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases. We conducted surveillance of the local measles-specific antibody titer, calculated the effective reproduc-tion number (Re), and compared data of four terms: term 1, 2003-2006 (before the introduction of the second shot of measles-containing vaccine); term 2, 2007-2010 (early term toward measles elimination); term 3, 2011-2014 (later term toward measles elimination); and term 4, 2015-2020 (after elimination of measles in Japan). Approximately 250 sera from volunteers aged 0 to >= 40 years were collected and examined for measles-specific IgG using the gelatin particle agglutination (PA) method annually from 2003 to 2020. Seroprevalence and the geometric mean of the PA antibody titer were examined by term. Re was calculated using the age-dependent proportion immune and contact matrix for each term. Of the 4,716 sera, 886 in term 1, 1,217 in term 2, 1,069 in term 3, and 1,544 in term 4 were collected. The sero-prevalence gradually increased from term 1 (88.3% CI 86.0-90.3) to term 4 (95.7% CI 94.6-96.7), and the seroprevalence of term 1 was significantly lower than those of other terms (Fisher's exact test, p = 16 as positive. By contrast, PA antibody titers significantly decreased from term 1 (median 1,024) to term 4 (median 256) (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 128 and >= 256) as positive, Re gradually increased from term 1 (1.8 and 2.3) to term 4 (2.5 and 4.8, respec-tively). Waning levels of measles antibodies potentially increase the measles susceptibility in Osaka, Japan. This trend might imply a limitation of vaccine-induced immunity in the absence of a natural boos-ter for wild strains after measles elimination. This study provides a cue for maintaining continuous measles elimination status in the future.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
