Measles virus infection is presumed to be sustained through an unbroken chain ofhuman-to-human transmission. So the term I would use is Human Reservoirs because many common infectious diseases have human reservoirs. Diseases that are transmitted from person to person without intermediaries . And measles is an example of Human reservoirs.
