This study, however, did not aim to develop actionable surveillance systems, produce predictive models of infectious disease based on internet-based data or to identify the best search terms for use in these models. Briefly, the time series analysed were monthly case numbers for the 64 infectious diseases monitored by the Australian Government's National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) and Google Trends monthly search metrics for related internet search terms. To our knowledge, assessments of the use of internet-based surveillance have only been performed for five of the 17 diseases that were demonstrated to have a significant association with internet search terms (influenza [4] , dengue [9, 27] , chickenpox [11, 12] , hepatitis B [14] and cryptosporidiosis [13] the authors of the final study were, however, not able to detect signals from internet search queries).	./cache/cord-256094-f85xc5uu.txt	./txt/cord-256094-f85xc5uu.txt
