Overview

The Resurgent Virus: How Measles Exploded in South Carolina and What It Means for Public Health. Drawing on epidemiological evidence, policy analysis, and real-world outbreak responses, this book unpacks what measles elimination truly means-and why it is far more fragile than many assume. It traces the resurgence of measles through under-vaccinated communities, examines the impact of international travel and global outbreaks, and reveals how misinformation and complacency weaken public health defenses. Beyond the science, Eliminated but Not Erased confronts the social and political forces shaping modern disease control. It explores vaccine hesitancy, legal and ethical tensions, and the strain placed on public health systems tasked with containing outbreaks before they become endemic again. The book also highlights the critical role of surveillance, genomic sequencing, and rapid response in proving that elimination has not been lost. Urgent, accessible, and deeply informative, this book makes clear that measles is not a disease of the past-but a warning for the future. Preserving elimination, it argues, requires renewed commitment, public trust, and sustained investment in prevention. As preventable diseases re-emerge worldwide, this book offers vital lessons for safeguarding public health in an interconnected age.
