چکیده
The paper has analyzed on the confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza in Shenzhen during May 26, 2009 to November 15, 2009 which were reported through direct network reporting system for infectious diseases. Combine the records of infectious cases with GIS. Geo-code the records of cases and select the home address of the sufferer as the basic unit of geo-coding. The retrospective space-time permutation scan statistic was employed to detect the space-time clusters of the H1N1 Influenza A in Shenzhen City. The result shows that the space-time clusters of H1N1 Influenza A in Shenzhen City are mainly in the northern areas which are border with Hong Kong during early in September. * Corresponding author. This is useful to know for communication with the appropriate person in cases with more than one author.

The aim of this paper was to analyze the spatiotemporal variations of cases of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in Argentina. A space-time permutation scan statistic was performed to test the non-randomness in the interaction between space and time in reported influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 cases. In 2009, two clusters were recorded in the east of Buenos Aires Province (May and June) and in the central and north...
متن کاملEmergence of avian H1N1 influenza viruses in pigs in China.
Avian influenza A viruses from Asia are recognized as the source of genes that reassorted with human viral genes to generate the Asian/57 (H2N2) and Hong Kong/68 (H3N2) pandemic strains earlier in this century. Here we report the genetic analysis of avian influenza A H1N1 viruses recently isolated from pigs in southern China, a host suspected to generate new pandemic strains through gene reasso...
متن کاملSpatial clustering of swine influenza in Ontario on the basis of herd-level disease status with different misclassification errors.
This approach maximizes sensitivity of serology-based monitoring systems by considering spatial clustering of herds classified as false positive by herd testing, allowing outbreaks to be detected in an early phase. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether swine herds infected with influenza viruses cluster in space, and if so, where they cluster. The secondary objective was ...

BACKGROUND Most influenza surveillance is based on data from urban sentinel hospitals; little is known about influenza activity in rural communities. We conducted influenza surveillance in a rural region of China with the aim of detecting influenza activity in the 2009/2010 influenza season. METHODS The study was conducted from October 2009 to March 2010. Real-time polymerase chain reaction w...
