Annual Reports
Laboratory Virology and Serology Reporting Scheme Annual reports
The Laboratory Virology and Serology Reporting Scheme began operating in 1977. Contributors submit data on the laboratory identification of viruses and other organisms. This page links to annual reports for the years 1994, 1995, 1999 to 2002 and a 10 year review 1991-2001.
Communicable Diseases Surveillance
The Laboratory Virology and Serology Reporting Scheme (LabVISE) is a sentinel scheme with no denominator data, hence changes in incidence cannot be determined. However, general trends can be observed, for example with respect to seasonality and the age-sex distribution of patients. Annual reports have been published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence for 1994 and 1995. Reports from 1999 onwards are included in Australia's Annual Diseases Status annual reports.
An Explanation of the LabVISE surveillance scheme is published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence.
