Evaluation of the representativeness of a sentinel surveillance site for campylobacteriosis

Epidemiology and Infection, 2014
SUMMARYIt is important to assess the suitability of sentinel sites for human disease; however, there have been few publications documenting the process of formal evaluation. We describe an approach to examining the representativeness of a single sentinel site employed for campylobacteriosis surveillance and source attribution, utilizing a selection of ...

Role of a sentinel surveillance system in the context of global surveillance of infectious diseases [PDF]

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2004
In some nation states, sustained integrated global epidemiological surveillance has been weakened as a result of political unrest, disinterest, and a poorly developed infrastructure due to rapidly increasing global inequality. The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome has shown vividly the importance of sensitive worldwide surveillance.

Dried blood spots as a practical and inexpensive source for human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus surveillance

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
Passive surveillance of infectious diseases with a high percentage of asymptomatic cases or long incubation periods, such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), does not reflect the current transmission dynamics.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Establishment of pediatric reference ranges for circulating naïve and memory T and B cell subsets guided by the human immunophenotyping consortium standardization initiative: A large, single center U.S. experience

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of the immune system continues to expand at a rapid pace, and this coupled with technological advances now enables us to interrogate both the breadth and the depth of the immune response at levels without precedent. This has also facilitated rapidly integrating some of this carefully vetted knowledge into clinical practice ...
