Texas this year has been the center of the nation's largest measles outbreak in more than two decades, as a mostly eradicated disease has sickened more than 700 in the state, sent dozens to hospitals and led to the death of two children who were unvaccinated.

Texas reports an increase in measles cases, with one new diagnosis and two child fatalities among the unvaccinated.

There are nine new cases reported in the state since Friday that are not connected to the West Texas outbreak.
