Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-21059-9
Abstract: Three main surveillance systems (laboratory-confirmed, influenza-like illness (ILI) and nationwide Notifiable Infectious Diseases Reporting Information System (NIDRIS)) have been used for influenza surveillance in China. However, it is unclear which surveillance system is more reliable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006173
Abstract: Seasonal influenza surveillance is usually carried out by sentinel general practitioners (GPs) who compile weekly reports based on the number of influenza-like illness (ILI) clinical cases observed among visited patients. This traditional practice for surveillance… read more here.
