In an investigation of a gastroenteritis outbreak, accurate diagnosis and early identification of the origin of contaminated food is essential to prevent new cases, since it enables control measures to be implemented.
The observed synergism in efficacy shows the potential for integrated fungus-insecticide control measures to dramatically reduce malaria transmission and enable control at more moderate levels of coverage even in areas where insecticide resistance has rendered pyrethroids essentially ineffective.
Monitoring the spatial distribution of fasciolosis using Geographical Information System GISS) allows identification of high-risk areas, enabling local effective control measures [ 8].
We are also requesting users to upload anonymized raw data (individual KIR type and HLA ligands) to enable improved quality control measures (such as validation of frequency calculations) and to enable advanced analyses of the data.
Thus, an accurate rapid bedside test would be of enormous help for the early confirmation of a cholera outbreak to enable preventive and control measures.
Strain typing data allow rapid identification of potential clusters of related cases, enabling early initiation of control measures.
Overall, these control measures enabled full outbreak containment within 17 days, without further recurrences (as of August 2007).
The unprecedented 2012 outbreak confirms the need for continued vigilance for surveillance to enable timely implementation of control measures to prevent virus transmission.
Understanding the role of dromedary camels and possibly other animals in transmission of MERS-CoV to humans remains a priority for future investigation to enable development of targeted control measures and prevent future cases and deaths from this emerging pathogen.
Models were developed such that they can be applicable in determining hydrocarbon contributions from urban sites enabling effective design of source control measures.
