Brits travelling to Europe this summer are being warned to be "vigilant" following an outbreak of measles in 17 EU countries.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert of a possible "surge" of the contagious disease. The Mirror reports UK health bosses warn that cases have been reported in parts of the UK, with some attributed to international travel.

"All countries, including those verified as having eliminated endemic transmission of measles, must be vigilant for possible importation and spread of this highly contagious disease," said Dr Jose Hagan, WHO Team Lead for Vaccine-preventable Diseases.
