POPULATION-BASED SURVEILLANCE OF TYPHOID FEVER IN EGYPT

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006
Credible measures of disease incidence are necessary to guide typhoid fever control efforts. In Egypt, incidence estimates have been derived from hospital-based syndromic surveillance, which may not represent the population with typhoid fever. To determine the population-based incidence of typhoid fever in Fayoum Governorate (pop.

Case Definitions for Use in Population‐Based Surveillance of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, 2007
Many definitions of periodontitis have been used in the literature for population‐based studies, but there is no accepted standard. In early epidemiologic studies, the two major periodontal diseases, gingivitis and periodontitis, were combined and considered to be a continuum. National United States surveys were conducted in 1960 to 1962, 1971 to 1974,

Epidemiology, Surveillance, and Population Biology: Carriage Studies

2003
Seven years after meningococci were first grown from patients with meningitis (1), Kiefer reported the isolation of the organisms from the nasopharynx of cases of meningococcal disease, and from their contacts (2). The importance of nasopharyngeal acquisition and carriage as a key step in the development of invasive meningococcal infection was rapidly ...

Usefulness of sero-surveillance for Trichinella infections in animal populations

Veterinary Parasitology, 2009
In this paper we evaluate serology as a tool to monitor Trichinella-free pig herds. Indoor, industrial-raised fattening pigs in the Netherlands are practically Trichinella-free, and were used as a negative reference cohort. A positive cohort was not available but we used sera from an endemic region in Argentina to model a plausible distribution of ...

Cancer surveillance

Cancer, 2001
Cancer mortality rates appear to be declining for the population of the United States as a whole.1 However, two specific populations— Native Americans and rural white Americans living in Appalachia— appear to have a disproportionate burden of cancer.2 Although some groups of American Indians living in the Southwest have a lower incidence of cancer than
