Changing Patterns of Human Campylobacteriosis, England and Wales, 1990–2007

Changing Patterns of Human Campylobacteriosis, England and Wales, 1990–2007

To explore hypotheses for age-related changes in the incidence of Campylobacter infections in England and Wales during 1990-2007, we analyzed electronic laboratory data. Disease incidence was reduced among children, and the greatest increase in risk was for those >/=60 years of age. Risk factors for campylobacteriosis in the elderly population should be identified.

Changing Pattern of Human Listeriosis, England and Wales, 2001–2004

Microbiologic and epidemiologic data on 1,933 cases of human listeriosis reported in England and Wales from 1990 to 2004 were reviewed. A substantial increase in incidence occurred from 2001 to 2004. Ten clusters (60 cases), likely to represent common-source outbreaks, were detected. However, these clusters did not account for the upsurge in incidence, which occurred sporadically, predominantly...

Changing Family Size in England and Wales

This volume is an important study in demographic history. It draws on the individual returns from the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses of England and Wales, to which Garrett, Reid, Schürer and Szreter were permitted access ahead of scheduled release dates. Using the responses of the inhabitants of 13 communities to the special questions included in the 1911 ‘fertility’ census, they consider the int...

Changing patterns of communicable disease in England and Wales. Part i--Newly recognised diseases.

Campylobacter enteritis, giardiasis, legionnaires' disease, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, and the viral haemorrhagic fevers are among the "new" diseases. In hospitals group B streptococcal infections have been recognised, there have been episodes of hospital-acquired enterovirus infections, and developments in surgical prostheses and immunosuppression have been followed by the appearance...
