- 1From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe International Circumpolar Surveillance System is a population-based surveillance network for invasive bacterial disease in the Arctic. The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) was introduced for routine...
- 2From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIndonesia's decision to withhold samples of avian influenza virus A (H5N1) from the World Health Organization for much of 2007 caused a crisis in global health. The World Health Assembly produced a resolution to try to...
- 3From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedOur review of angiostrongyliasis in China found that the disease is emerging as a result of changes in food consumption habits and long-distance transportation of food. Enhanced understanding of angiostrongyliasis...
- 4From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAlthough current national response plans assume that most influenza-infected patients would stay home during a pandemic, surveillance systems might be overwhelmed and unable to monitor their health status. We explored...

- 13From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Challenges posed by Acinetobacter spp. result from multidrug resistance, nosocomial spread, and hospital-wide outbreaks (1-3). We evaluated Acinetobacter spp. infections from gunshot injuries received...
- 14From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedEuropean magpies (Pica pica) from southern France were tested for antibodies to West Nile virus (WNV) and viral shedding in feces during spring-autumn 2005. Results suggest that this peridomestic species may be a...

- 16From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn Svalbard, Norway, the only intermediate host for Echinococcus multilocularis, the sibling vole, has restricted spatial distribution. A survey of feces from the main host, the arctic fox, showed that only the area...
- 17From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedUsing ameba coculture, we grew a Naegleria endosymbiont. Phenotypic, genetic, and phylogenetic analyses supported its affiliation as Protochlamydia naegleriophila sp. nov. We then developed a specific diagnostic PCR for...
