The MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States, 2000 contains, in tabular and graphical form, the official statistics for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable diseases in the United States for 2000. These statistics are collected and compiled from reports to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), which is operated by CDC in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE).read more

Molecular Pathogenesis, Epidemiology, and Clinical Manifestations of Respiratory Infections Due to Bordetella pertussis and Other Bordetella Subspecies
Seema Mattoo,Jonathan D. Cherry +1 more
TL;DR: DTaP vaccines, which are less reactogenic than DTP vaccines, are now in general use in many developed countries, and it is expected that the expansion of their use to adolescents and adults will have a significant impact on reducing pertussis and perhaps decrease the circulation of B. pertussedis.
Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)
TL;DR: These revised recommendations by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices concerning prevention of plague update previous recommendations (MMWR 1982;31:301-4).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ehrlichia chaffeensis: a Prototypical Emerging Pathogen
TL;DR: The current understanding of the microbiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations associated with this pathogen are summarized but focus primarily on discussing various ecological factors responsible for the recent recognition of this important and potentially life-threatening tick-borne disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis C virus infection in USA: an estimate of true prevalence
TL;DR: While the NHANES estimates of drug users (both injection and non‐injection) appear to be reasonable, the survey seems to have underestimated the number of HCV‐positive veterans.
Journal ArticleDOI
A plasmid‐encoded nicotinamidase (PncA) is essential for infectivity of Borrelia burgdorferi in a mammalian host
Joye E. Purser,Matthew B. Lawrenz,Melissa J. Caimano,Jerrilyn K. Howell,Justin D. Radolf,Steven J. Norris +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that some plasmid‐encoded products fulfil physiological functions required in the enzootic cycle of pathogenic Borrelia, and are most probably required for the biosynthesis of NAD.
