Rotavirus epidemiology and surveillance.

Novartis Foundation symposium, 2002
There is extensive antigenic and genomic diversity among co-circulating human rotaviruses. They are differentiated into groups, subgroups and types. There are at least 7 groups (A-G) and 4 subgroups within group A. To distinguish types within group A, a dual classification system has been established with the glycoprotein VP7 defining G types, and the ...

Canine echinococcosis: an alternative for surveillance epidemiology

Veterinary Parasitology, 2000
The essential activities for programmes of cystic echinococcosis control are the census of all dogs from the program and identification of parasitised animals. Currently, in South America evaluations and epidemiological surveillance are based on the administration of arecoline hydrobromide.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Epidemiology, Surveillance, and Diagnosis

Seminars in Liver Disease, 2010
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing in incidence in many countries, and is the most common cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. With regular surveillance, small early HCC lesions can be identified. An algorithm has been developed that allows for diagnosis of these lesions.

A combination of data obtained by classical epidemiological techniques with insights gained from the analysis of the population biology of Neisseria meningitidis have proved to be critical in understanding the spread of menin-gococcal disease. This is a consequence of the natural history and evolution of this bacterium, which, despite its fearsome ...
