对西方疾病对人口统计学影响的解释经常因为未能认识到免疫反应的复杂性而蒙上阴影。通常认为，流行性疾病的特征通常是母体抗体通过胎盘和乳汁传播。然而，麻疹、天花和流感等病毒性疾病的情况并非如此--所有这些疾病在后哥伦布时代都达到了流行的程度。在这篇文章中，我回顾了病毒性疾病的免疫反应的性质，重点是麻疹，这是一种极大地导致土著人民死亡的疾病。
Interpretations of the demographic impact of Western diseases are frequently clouded by a failure to appreciate the complex nature of immune responses. It is commonly assumed that epidemic diseases are generally characterized by both transplacental and lacteal transmission of maternal antibodies. This is not, however, the case for viral diseases, such as measles, smallpox, and influenza--all of which reached epidemic proportions during the post-Columbian era. In this paper I review the nature of the immune response for viral diseases, with emphasis upon measles, a disease that contributed heavily to the demise of native peoples.
