Those data are consistent with the epidemic of deaths by overdose that are occurring across our country.
The phylogeny reconstructed by the neighbor-joining method with mid-point rooting or by maximum parsimony is overall consistent with the epidemic (Additional file 1).
The population structure of C. hominis was consistent with the epidemic nature of human infections where a small number of genotypes predominate.
This response is consistent with the epidemic control protocol described previously, but many survivors experienced stigmatization long after this 1-month period, in part, because they continued to experience other illnesses (e.g., vision problems, fatigue, leg pains).
To support our claim that our model predictions are consistent with the epidemic, we compared the age-distribution of reported, laboratory-confirmed pH1N1 cases in the GVRD (data from the BCCDC Laboratory and BC Ministry of Health) with the age distribution of infections predicted by our model.
Furthermore, the results on seasonal pattern of enterovirus-like infection in our ED-SSS was consistent with the previous epidemic patterns in Taiwan, again demonstrating the usefulness of ED-SSS to avoid future large-scale or severe epidemics caused by enteroviruses [ 18].
All participants, consistent with the HIV epidemic in criminal justice populations in Connecticut, had underlying SUDs, mostly with related risk for HIV being past or current drug injection (Meyer et al. 2014; Meyer et al. 2014).
The lack of cases in the VV genotype implies that short incubation periods in this genotype (i.e. comparable to that for the MM genotype) are only consistent with the observed epidemic if the susceptibility is highly suppressed.
This observation is consistent with the summer epidemic strains being the progenitors of those dominant in the following flu season.
Although reporting bias probably affects these data, the reported pattern is consistent with the national epidemic profile for 2009 2010.
