The study aims to understand measles transmission dynamics in Ethiopia, focusing on epidemiology and surveillance characteristics over seven years.
Longitudinal analysis of confirmed measles cases from 2018 to 2024.
calculation of age-specific attack rates (AR) and case fatality rates (CFR).
estimation of time-varying reproduction numbers (Rt) to assess transmission intensity.
69,866 confirmed cases analyzed; 12.5% laboratory confirmed, 87.5% epidemiologically linked.
Highest burden observed among children aged 1-4 years with an attack rate of 195 per 100,000.
Overall case fatality rate was 0.8%, peaking at 1.12% for infants under 9 months.
