Transmission modes of the viruses are different, as KV is transmitted either through contact or through the air. These modes of transmission mutated into two strains of KV. Measles is transmitted by being aerosolized in water droplets. It is “contact” spread through a cough, however, this is with viral particles trapped in water droplets, classifying this spread as aerosolized (Laksono, 555). KV can infect humans, dogs, and rats, while measles only infects humans naturally. In the lab, primates can have measles induced for treatment development (Russell, 223). KV presents with rabies-like symptoms, especially in the pre-transformation phases, while measles presents like the flu in early infectious stages. Both viruses affect neurological function, however, KV destroys most neurological and psychological functions in all cases of the infection, whereas measles only effects the neurological functioning with the rare cases with complications (Laksono, 554). KV also presents some natural immunity, with roughly .2% of the world’s population having some degree of immunity. Measles has not been found to have a natural
