متن کاملInfluenza epidemics and Spanish climatic domains
The present article proposes a climatic approach to the study of the interaction between influenza spreading and climatic and meteorological factors in different climatic domains of the Iberian Peninsula. This association can be used to help in the prevention and mitigation of influenza epidemics. A biometeorological index has been defined and applied to the epidemic periods that took place in ...
متن کاملForecasting Influenza Epidemics in Hong Kong
Recent advances in mathematical modeling and inference methodologies have enabled development of systems capable of forecasting seasonal influenza epidemics in temperate regions in real-time. However, in subtropical and tropical regions, influenza epidemics can occur throughout the year, making routine forecast of influenza more challenging. Here we develop and report forecast systems that are ...
متن کاملFour Recent Influenza Epidemics: an Experimental Study.
The initial isolation of epidemic influenza virus by Smith, Andrewes, and Laidlaw (1) in 1933 has been followed by the isolation of a large number of strains of the virus in various parts of the world. One or more strains of epidemic influenza virus have been obtained from cases of epidemic influenza during each of the years from 1933 through 1937 (1-12). A total of more than 125 strains has be...
