In 2007, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU) established a respiratory virus surveillance programme in the Burmese refugee population living in Maela camp, Northwest Thailand. Laboratory-enhanced surveillance has documented the contribution of respiratory viruses to 708 hospitalised clinical pneumonia episodes occurring in a crowded refugee camp on the Thailand-Myanmar border during April 2009 to September 2011. The results are broadly consistent with a similar surveillance programme conducted in two Kenyan refugee camps [22] , where 51.3% patients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) had at least one of adenovirus, hMPV, influenza A/B, parainfluenza virus 1-3, or RSV detected. ./cache/cord-325635-don9qjpz.txt ./txt/cord-325635-don9qjpz.txt
