Serology reagents intended to detect antibodies to rubella virus, an RNA virus of the genus Rubivirus, family Togaviridae. Rubella virus is the cause of an acute, usually benign infection, often affecting children; the disease is characterized by a pink rash beginning on the head and spreading to become generalized. Transplacental infection of a fetus may occur. Rubella is also called German measles and, in French and Spanish, rubeola.
