Animal-based national surveillance for zoonotic disease: Quality, limitations, and implications of a model system for monitoring rabies	2007-03-17		.txt	text/plain	4437	196	39	The suitability of passively collected surveillance data for determining the presence or absence of the raccoon-associated variant of rabies within states and within individual counties was assessed by determining critical threshold values from the regression analyses. Counts of rabies test results reported as national surveillance data are, therefore, the endpoint of a required activity and these data provide an important index as to the level and epidemiologic characteristics of rabies activity within the surveillance-unit of the individual county (Wilson et al., 1997; Fischman et al., 1992; Childs et al., 2000; Gordon et al., 2004) ; no other independent source of information on wildlife rabies exist. The numbers of animals tested for rabies and reported through surveillance were positively and strongly associated with human population size or, alternatively, median annual expenditures in the individual county.	./cache/cord-275494-fan1rta9.txt	./txt/cord-275494-fan1rta9.txt
