Highly contagious viral disease whose technical name is rubeola (7)

I believe the answer is:

measles

(Other definitions for measles that I've seen before include "I appear as 8 [RASH]" , "Highly contagious viral disease" , "An infectious fever" , "Disease where spots may be seen" , "Contagious disease in children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
