Hi Cecelia and co, Still plugging away at describing the outbreaks of a new disease (CMV????) and its effects on morbidity and mortality. I have documented effects against certain cancers, etc. I try and update the link every month as new stuff comes out. The key point is to investigate males/females separately and to be aware that outbreaks occur at very small areas which cluster up to regional and national events. For whatever reason, a running 12-month total of incidence acts as a frequency filter revealing the underlying hidden patterns of disease incidence or severity. See http://www.hcaf.biz/2010/Publications_Full.pdf  Hope this helps. Cheers Rod
