disease surveillance,   etc   ; linear models; statistics;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... The spatial scan test, which is often carried out by maximizing a likelihood ratio-based statistic over a collection of cluster candidates, is widely used in cluster detection and disease surveillance. As the likelihood ratio statistic may not be available if the exact distribution of the response variable is not specified, a Wald-based spatial scan approach is proposed. The idea is to construct a ...

Abstract:
... Environmental surveillance is an effective approach to investigate the circulation of human enteroviruses (EVs) in the population. EVs excreted by patients who present diverse clinical syndromes can remain infectious in the environment for several weeks, and limited data on circulating environmental EVs are available. A 6-year (2009–2014) surveillance study was conducted to detect non-polio entero ...

Abstract:
... Investigating the seasonality of disease incidences is very important in disease surveillance in regions with periodical climatic patterns. In lieu of the paradigm about disease incidences varying seasonally in line with meteorology, this work seeks to determine how well simple epidemic models can capture such seasonality for better forecasts and optimal futuristic interventions. Once incidence da ...

Abstract:
... The routine use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as part of enteric disease surveillance is substantially enhancing our ability to detect and investigate outbreaks and to monitor disease trends. At the same time, it is revealing as never before the vast complexity of microbial and human interactions that contribute to outbreak ecology. Since WGS analysis is primarily used to characterize and compa ...
