Morbillivirus - Measles plush toy from GIANTmicrobes.
We’re dealing with a very indiscreet virus… its presence is easy to spot. Although what everyone recognizes about measles are the characteristic red spots all over the body (along with a mild fever), don’t be fooled… measles is actually a respiratory disease.
And while in developed countries it’s a fully controlled illness thanks to vaccination (the vaccine is included in the MMR shot—measles, mumps, and rubella), it remains a serious—even deadly—disease in underdeveloped countries where proper childhood vaccination isn’t practiced. So… it may look cute, but it’s no joke!

The plush toys measure between 13 and 18 cm, depending on the model.
