The Public Health Agency of Sweden identified the need to use a structured method that takes relevant aspects into account in order to rationally prioritize between different pathogens when allocating resources for surveillance. The Robert Koch Institute invited ten senior external experts and ten internal experts and asked them to score the pathogens with -1, 0 or 1 for ten variables"Incidence", "Work and school absenteeism", "Health care utilization", "Chronicity of illness or sequelae", "Case fatality rate", "Proportion of events requiring public health actions", "Trend", "Public attention", "Prevention and Treatment possibilities") ( Table 1 ). We used a standardized procedure developed at the Robert Koch Institute to generate a list of pathogens prioritized for surveillance to be used by the Public Health Agency of Sweden.	./cache/cord-349911-dx8wvqkm.txt	./txt/cord-349911-dx8wvqkm.txt
