Communicable Disease Management Protocol – Measles (Rubeola)
http://www.gov.mb.ca/health/publichealth/cdc/protocol/measles.pdf
In Canada, death is estimated to occur once in 3,000 cases of measles ce qui correspond à un taux de létalité de 0.33/1000. Immunisation Canada http://immunize.ca/en/diseases-vaccines/measles.aspx In the pre-vaccine era, [...] Every year in Canada, measles was responsible for 50 to 75 deaths. [...] The number of cases has fallen by over 99% (from about 350,000 per year before 1963 to less than 2000 per year in 1995.) ce qui correspond à un taux de létalité d'à peu près 0.18/1000 ou 1 décès pour 6000 cas. On peut soupconner un "effet plateau" (l'ordre de grandeur du rapport décès/cas reste faible et à peu près constant depuis les années 50: entre environ 0.1 et 0.3/1000), comme dans le cas de l'Angleterre/Pays de Galle.

Public Health Notice: Measles
17 juillet 2013
Since the beginning of the year, nearly 30 cases of measles have been identified in six Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. At this time in 2012, six cases had been reported to the Public Health Agency of Canada. [...] Most cases reported in Canada so far this year are travel-related. This happens when travellers, who may be susceptible, catch measles in a country where the disease is still occurring and return infected to Canada. They then infect others in their communities who are susceptible. These are called secondary transmissions. [...]
