The Laboratory Virology and Serology Reporting Scheme, 1991 to 2000

The Laboratory Virology and Serology (LabVISE) Reporting Scheme is a passive surveillance scheme based on voluntary reports of infectious agents contributed by virology and serology laboratories around Australia. This article reports on the LabVISE data collected between 1991 and 2000 and was published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence Vol 26 No 3, September 2002. This article can be viewed in 15 HTML documents and is also available in PDF format.
