对 19 个岛屿社区长达 15 年的每月麻疹病例报告进行了分析。所有人口少于 50 万的社区都发现麻疹传播的连续性中断。流行病的持续时间也受到人口密度的影响。据推测，原始社会中并不存在足以支持这种病毒持续传播的人口，并且麻疹病毒一定是从早期文明发展以来就已经进化出来的。
Monthly measles case reports from 19 island communities covering periods up to 15 years have been analyzed. Breaks in the continuity of measles transmission were found for all communities of less than 500,000 population. The duration of epidemics was also affected by population density. It is postulated that populations sufficient to support continued propagation of this virus did not exist in primitive societies and that measles virus must have evolved since the development of early civilizations.
