Space-Time Cluster Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease
Clusters are recognized when meningococcal cases of the same phenotypic strain (markers: serogroup, serotype, and subtype) occur in spatial and temporal proximity. The incidence of such clusters was compared to the incidence that would be expected by chance by using space-time nearest-neighbor analysis of 4,887 confirmed invasive meningococcal cases identified in the 9-year surveillance period ...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease, Germany
Meningococci can cause clusters of disease. Specimens from 1,616 patients in Germany obtained over 42 months were typed by serogrouping and sequence typing of PorA and FetA and yielded a highly diverse dataset (Simpson's index 0.963). A retrospective spatiotemporal scan statistic (SaTScan) was applied in an automated fashion to identify clusters for each finetype defined by serogroup variable r...
متن کاملSurveillance of Invasive Meningococcal Disease
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a nationally reportable disease in Canada. Since 1985, the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control (LCDC) has enhanced IMD surveillance to correlate case-by-case information provided by the provinces and territories with detailed laboratory studies done at the National Laboratory for Bacteriology at LCDC. This report provides information on IMD from 1 Janua...

متن کاملA space-time conditional intensity model for invasive meningococcal disease occurrence.
A novel point process model continuous in space-time is proposed for quantifying the transmission dynamics of the two most common meningococcal antigenic sequence types observed in Germany 2002-2008. Modeling is based on the conditional intensity function (CIF), which is described by a superposition of additive and multiplicative components. As an epidemiological interesting finding, spread beh...
