- In veterinary medicine, it is often cost-prohibitive to evaluate every blood unit or derived blood product, and therefore, often donors are interviewed and screened for infectious agents in their blood periodically. (vin.com)
- The American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) published a consensus statement on infectious disease testing for canine and feline blood donors in 2005. (vin.com)
- However, infectious disease research has been and still is the province of many separate disciplines including veterinary medicine, plant pathology, and human medicine, where these fields are defined by the host organism being studied rather than by the concepts that cut across taxonomic boundaries.

Outcomes3
- Monitoring disease markers enables healthcare professionals to make informed decisions regarding treatment adjustments and ensure the best possible outcomes for the immunocompromised. (acacamps.org)
- Neither of the included studies measured outcomes that were directly related to infectious disease transmission. (uu.nl)
- Conclusion: None of the included studies measured outcomes related to infectious disease transmission. (uu.nl)

Incidence3
- The transmission of infectious diseases in schools influences the incidence of these diseases in the rest of the population. (uu.nl)
- LTBI) and TB disease in prisons, as compared to the incidence in the corresponding local general population, and to estimate the fraction of TB in the general population attributable (PAF%) to transmission within prisons. (who.int)
- Studies, which were independently screened by two reviewers, were eligible for inclusion if they reported the incidence of LTBI and TB disease in prisons. (who.int)
Filtration1
- It has been hypothesized that air filtration devices might be able to reduce the transmission of infectious diseases. (uu.nl)

- ie, depending on the type of mutation, a variable percentage of carriers of the mutation have clinical signs of the disease during their lifetime. (msdmanuals.com)
