The measles outbreak in Austria, which took important proportions in the first semester of the year, was most likely linked to a large outbreak in Switzerland, where more than 2000 cases have been reported since November 2007.
Izbruh ošpic v Avstriji, ki se je pomembneje razširil v prvi polovici leta, je bil najverjetneje povezan z velikim izbruhom v Švici, od koder so od novembra 2007 poročali o več kot 2 000 primerih okužbe.
