There were more than 12,500 measles cases in January , according to WHO .

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000 , but it still rages on in many parts of the world.

With decreasing vaccination rates across the US , experts say, imported cases can have large consequences.

Information from the Global Measles Rubella Laboratory Network (GMRLN) is often used to decide where outbreak resources should be designated.

“The health of Americans very much depends on our abilities to know where measles is, so that we can appropriately protect and caution travelers,” says Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo .
