Furthermore, recent studies have described spatial distributions of genetic stocks in foraging and developmental areas at-sea based on local and regional ocean current patterns in the Wider Caribbean [28], [37], Atlantic Ocean [40], Mediterranean Sea [45], and Pacific Ocean [46], [47].
As mentioned, alternative strategies based on local and regional data were used here, which might have introduced inaccuracies.
A major incident plan should be based on local and regional facilities, incorporating experience gained from previous incidents and planning exercises.
To summarize, the wild boar is currently regarded as a spillover TB host in Atlantic Spain, although its status may change based on local or regional risk factors, such as an increase of cattle TB, wild boar abundance, land use changes and changes in cattle and wildlife management practices [ 14].
The studies not included in the IARC evaluation and those that have been published since also have been based on local or regional well-water concentrations (Baastrup et al. 2008; Chen et al. 2004; Ferreccio et al. 1998; Guo 2004; Han et al. 2008; Marshall et al. 2007; Mostafa et al. 2008; Smith et al. 2006).
In a review of 15 existing studies that have reported the prevalence of type 2 diabetes by SES and/or associations between SES and type 2 diabetes, all were found to have been based on local or regional samples and a majority were done in urban areas 4 6–19 (table 1).
Predictive models of dengue incidence rate, based on local weather and regional climate parameters, could benefit disease mitigation efforts.
Allometric model error was relatively small, but there was as much as 31% difference in mean biomass based on local diameter-based equations compared to regional volume-based equations, suggesting that the choice of allometric model is important.
The training of NPCs in Tanzania for maternal health care is one of the regional innovations based on local realities of high maternal and perinatal deaths and low met needs linked to severe shortage of qualified staff.
Planning head injury related services at the local level thus needs to be based on local incidence figures rather than regional or national estimates.
