Background Internet‐based participatory surveillance systems, such as the German GrippeWeb, monitor frequency of acute respiratory illnesses on population level. In order to interpret syndromic information better, we devised a microbiological feasibility study (GrippeWeb‐Plus) test whether self‐collection anterior nasal swabs is operationally possible, acceptable for participants and can yield valid data. Methods We recruited 103 GrippeWeb (73 adults 30 children) provided them with kit,...
Using participatory, virologic, and wastewater surveillance systems, we estimated when to what extent reported data of adult COVID-19 cases underestimated incidence in Germany. We also examined how case underestimation evolved over time. Our findings highlight community-based systems can complement official notification for respiratory disease dynamics.
Fälle von Legionärskrankheit, die in Deutschland im Rahmen der Meldepflicht erfasst werden und bei denen Erkrankung möglicherweise während einer Reise den damit verbundenen Hotelaufenthalten erworben wurde, vom Robert Koch Institut (RKI) an ELDSNet – das europäische Netzwerk zur Erfassung reiseassoziierter Legionärskrankheit gemeldet. Umgekehrt erhält RKI Meldungen über Unterkünfte Deutschland, Zusammenhang mit Erkrankten aus anderen Teilnehmerländern sowie auch stehen. Ziel des Netzwerkes...
