چکیده
Reliable, comprehensive and comparable information on the impact of (zoonotic) diseases on population health are important for policy decision making in Public Health to support allocation processes of scarce resources with best available evidence. Although the availability and quality of health data has increased in the recent past (Boerma et al. 2007, Murray, 2007), there are still relevant limitations when traditional health indicators are used to prioritize diseases and to allocate resources for intervention measures. Difficulties especially come up when comparisons over time, between sub-groups or even between diseases are intended.
