  2. 1. Univariate and Multivariate Surveillance of Outbreaks

    Author : Linus Schiöler; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; change-points; expected delay; exponential family; false alarms; generalised likelihood; inference principles; influenza; MEWMA; monitoring; multivariate; ordered regression; performance metrics; outbreak; predictive value; subjective judgment; spatial; statistical models; surveillance; tularemia;

    Abstract : In many areas there is a need to monitor observations in order to detect changes in the underlying processes as quickly as possible. The theory of statistical surveillance provides the possibility of making optimal decisions about whether a change has occurred or not based on the data available at the time of the decision.

  4. 2. Datafication in Public Health Surveillance : Making Authoritative Accounts

    Author : Martin Stojanov; Mats Edenius; Claes Thorén; Eivor Oborn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datafication; public health; authority; sociomateriality; care; valuation; design ethnography; influenza surveillance; Information Systems; Informationssystem;

    Abstract : The data traces we increasingly leave behind through interactions with information technology are being integrated into public health practice for continuous real-time monitoring and decision-making in a process of datafication. While previous research suggests there are challenges in producing and moving representations, datafication relies on reusing data primarily intended for a different purpose. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tamiflu® - Use It and Lose It?

    Author : Josef D. Järhult; Björn Olsen; Hanna Söderström; Jonas Waldenström; Robert G. Webster; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; influenza; oseltamivir; Tamiflu; resistance development; H274Y; environment; pharmaceuticals; mallard; dabbling duck; avian influenza; influensa; resistensutveckling; miljö; läkemedel; gräsand; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : Influenza A viruses cause seasonal and pandemic outbreaks that range from mild infections to the disastrous Spanish Flu. Resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) is a growing problem as these drugs constitute a vital part of treatment strategies and pandemic preparedness plans worldwide. Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) is the mostly used NAI. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tamiflu in the Water : Resistance Dynamics of Influenza A Virus in Mallards Exposed to Oseltamivir

    Author : Anna Gillman; Josef D Järhult; Björn Olsen; Shaman Muradrasoli; Elena Govorkova; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Influenza A virus; avian influenza; oseltamivir; neuraminidase inhibitors; resistance; environmental; Mallard; waterfowl; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The natural reservoir of influenza A virus (IAV) is wild waterfowl, and all human IAVs have their genetic origins from avian viruses. Neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) are currently the best drugs for treatment of human influenza; therefore, the orally available NAI oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) has been stockpiled worldwide as part of pandemic preparedness planning.

  7. 5. Influenza A virus in wild birds

    Author : Anders Wallensten; Björn Olsen; Lennart Svensson; Åke Lundkvist; Mikael Berg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Influenza A virus; Wild Birds; Ducks; Prevalence; Ecology; Virology; Virologi;

    Abstract : Influenza virus is a RNA virus that exists as different types and subtypes. Influenza A virus strains are known to cause disease in several bird and mammalian species. Wild birds are believed to constitute the natural reservoir for influenza A virus. READ MORE
