	Vol. 4 No.1: Outbreak Investigations-A Perspective
		Once it is clear that a suspected outbreak is not the result of laboratory error, a set of activities should be undertaken to establish the background rate of the disease in the affected population and to find all the cases in a given population in a certain period.
		Or, similarly, in the outbreak of legionellosis due to contaminated misting machines in the produce section of a grocery store, before the link to this exposure was even suspected, it was noted that women constituted a substantially higher proportion of the cases usually seen with this disease (5).
		Furthermore, in some outbreaks caused by well-characterized etiologic agents, laboratory methods of detecting the agent in environmental samples are insensitive, technically difficult, or not available, as in the case of recent outbreaks of Cyclospora infections associated with eating imported berries (22,23).

	biology - Outbreak
		Virus outbreaks occur when a virus bypasses infection control measures and a relatively high number of infections are observed where no cases or sporadic cases occurred in the past.
		The study of pathogenic viral outbreaks is a branch of epidemiology and usually refers to virus outbreaks that make people, animals, or plants sick.
		As with bacterial outbreaks, viral outbreaks are classified as sporadic (occasional occurrence), endemic (regular cases often occurring in a region), epidemic (an unusually high number of cases in a region), or pandemic (a global epidemic).

	Suspected/Confirmed Influenza Outbreak: Long-Term Care - Minnesota Dept. of Health
		An influenza outbreak is suspected when three or more cases of ILI are detected on a single unit during a period of 48 to 72 hours.
		An influenza outbreak is confirmed when three or more residents have ILI on a single unit during a 48 to 72 hour period, and at least one of those has a positive culture or rapid-antigen test for influenza.
		Of priority concern are outbreaks in facilities in which residents were not vaccinated against influenza due to the vaccine shortage.

	Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 Updated Hands-On - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The sequel, appropriately named Resident Evil Outbreak File #2, is currently scheduled for release next month, and having spent some time with a work-in-progress version of the game, we can report that, Capcom has aattempted to address some of the issues players had with the original game and added some new features as well.
		All five of the new scenarios in Outbreak #2--a zoo, a subway station, an abandoned hospital, a police station, and a lab--can either be played on a (very) easy or a normal difficulty setting.
		Outbreak can be a fun experience--online and off--for diehard fans of the series, but the trite conventions and clumsy gameplay will probably turn off the average player.

	WHO \| Outbreak in British Columbia, Canada is not SARS
		An outbreak of respiratory illness in an aged care facility in Canada has now been extensively investigated for SARS and WHO concludes the disease is not SARS.
		Clinically, the disease itself was strikingly different from the SARS outbreak in the spring.
		Now, sequencing of a portion of the virus causing the outbreak has led to the finding that it was not the SARS coronavirus but another human coronavirus known as OC43.

	Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tornadoes were nearly relentless, occurring in a 450-mile swath west-to-east from Clinton County, Iowa, to Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and a 200-mile swath north-to-south from Kent County, Michigan, to Montgomery County, Indiana.
		This is the third deadliest day for tornadoes on record, trailing the Super Outbreak of April 3, 1974, which killed 315 and the outbreak that included the Tri-State Tornado which killed 747.
		Thus the current Tornado watch and Tornado warning program was implemented because of the terrible death toll from the Palm Sunday outbreak.

	INVESTIGATION OF OUTBREAKS (AND SINGLE CASES) OF LEGIONELLOSIS FROM WATER SYSTEMS INCORPORATING COOLING TOWERS AND ...
		OUTBREAK DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF THIS OC 4 The Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) defines an outbreak as 2 or more diagnosed cases of legionellosis linked by locality and proximity in time (generally within 6 months) for which there is strong epidemiological evidence of a common source of infection, with or without microbiological evidence.
		Given that the source of the outbreak may be associated with a number of types of premises, it may not obviously fall within the responsibility of any one inspection group and consequently the lead inspector may need to be specifically appointed by the FOD head of division/operations.
		Where the outbreak committee requests a course of action from HSE, inspectors should be satisfied that this is justified in terms of the level of risk.

	Outbreak Report ~ CSPI’s Food Safety
		While such illnesses largely occur as isolated cases, outbreaks of food poisoning are clusters of illness that result from ingestion of a common contaminated food.
		The CDC is also responsible for nationwide surveillance of outbreaks and for tracking of new and emerging pathogens.
		But many outbreaks fall through the cracks, because the states are not required by law to report food- poisoning outbreaks to the CDC.

	Outbreaks vs. Epidemics - Whether it's time to freak about the flu. By Brendan I. Koerner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In terms of the flu, the difference between an outbreak and an epidemic is the percenatge of overall deaths caused by the disease.
		The center's online glossary states that "outbreak" can actually be used interchangeably with "epidemic" and that the former is often preferable merely because it's a less frightening term.
		A pandemic is an epidemic that occurs across several countries and affects a sizable portion of the population in each, although there's no formal definition of what constitutes "sizable." According to the CDC, the last influenza pandemic took place in 1968-69, when the Hong Kong flu killed 33,800 Americans between September and March.

	Resident Evil Outbreak for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Resident Evil Outbreak Review
		At its heart, Outbreak is more or less your typical Resident Evil offering, presented in an episodic style that's uncharacteristic of the series and with four-player online support shoehorned into the standard RE format.
		Outbreak's barebones approach to communication prevents you from discussing actual puzzle-solving with other players, so if you don't already know what to do in a given scenario, the game can degenerate into every player confusedly running off on his or her own and consequently getting eaten.
		Outbreak might be a clumsy gameplay experience, but at least it's pretty to look at.

		While Soviet officials attributed this outbreak to contaminated meat, the US Government maintains its position that the outbreak was due to a leakage from a biological weapons facility.
		While the outbreak sparked an international debate as to whether the outbreak was the result of natural causes or an accidental release, the reported methods of dealing with the case are similar.
		...We conclude that the outbreak resulted from the windborne spread of an aerosol of anthrax pathogen, that the source was at the military microbiology facility, and that the escape of pathogen occurred during the day on Monday, 2 April.

		Most scientists believe that the Black Death was an outbreak of bubonic plague, a dreaded disease that has spread in pandemic form several times through history.
		It is not entirely clear where the major epidemic of the 14th century started, perhaps somewhere around the northern parts of India, but more likely in the steppes of central Asia, from where it was carried west by Mongol armies.
		Information about the death toll varies widely from source to source, but it is estimated that about a third of the population of Europe died from the outbreak in the mid-1300s.
