We discuss how improved pathogen surveillance, implementation of current vaccines, and development of novel vaccines may be expected to further reduce bacterial meningitis and related diseases in the future.
Additional icons can be generated using the same primitives and combination rules, for a biological test aimed at the surveillance of a current disease, for example.
However, the rapid acquisition of EBOV sequence variation recently demonstrated during genomic surveillance of the current EVD epidemic suggests that drug development dependent on viral non-variant protein sequences may be problematic.
That subsequent stage (see Figure 2), requires careful description of the information needs of the end-users of surveillance outputs, assessment of the performance of current surveillance systems, and then a systematic assessment of the potential gaps identified.
Future research should consider the capabilities of current surveillance systems and determine acceptable false positive rates, in order to appropriately calibrate available surveillance systems.
More than three-quarters of likely voters the poll interviewed opposed related aspects of current surveillance authorities and operations.
Washington hastily pledged that the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, leader of Europe's most powerful economy, was not the target of current surveillance and would not be in the future, while conspicuously saying nothing about the past.
The continued high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in Brazil underscores the importance of current surveillance initiatives.
To examine the ability of current surveillance systems to assess and monitor disparities in: (1) vision impairment, (2) eye disease, (3) vision-related functioning, (4) access to vision and eye care, and (5) access to supports and services for those needing vision rehabilitation.
A number of factors limit the usefulness of current surveillance data to the policy process.
