Rubella is mild viral illness associated with fever and a generalized rash.
The most serious effects of rubella are suffered by infants born to mothers who are infected early in pregnancy. A team of researchers working with Frey seeks to better understand the pathology of the vaccination side-effects, and thus, prevent them from occurring. As part of this effort, Foushee is studying the behavior of the rubella virus in infected mice to determine if the virus can persist for prolonged periods in bone marrow and other organ systems.
