METHODS We used as an index the number of cases per week per sentinel medical institution in the area covered...
متن کاملPhylodynamics of infectious disease epidemics.
We present a formalism for unifying the inference of population size from genetic sequences and mathematical models of infectious disease in populations. Virus phylogenies have been used in many recent studies to infer properties of epidemics. These approaches rely on coalescent models that may not be appropriate for infectious diseases. We account for phylogenetic patterns of viruses in suscep...

متن کاملEpidemics of Influenza and Pediatric Diseases Observed in Infectious Disease Surveillance in Japan, 1999-2005
BACKGROUND A method for determining epidemics in small areas from the sentinel surveillance data has been proposed and applied in the National Epidemiological Surveillance of Infectious Diseases (NESID) in Japan. We observed epidemics of influenza and 11 pediatric diseases by the method in the NESID in Japan during 1999-2005. METHODS We assumed that an epidemic in a public health center area ...
